Default Need Help ... Which/What Bells & Whistles

On a 6sp, what do I need to be safer? Is a TPS enough? Do I need the RPM window switch? Do I use both?

I did buy the NX 75-150 kit, but I did not order a TPS switch. Need some help asap as the install is soon.

Thanks.

Yes. A WOT switch does the same as NX TPS.
WOT means, Wide Open Throtle.

You have to have a window switch. < It is a must for 6spd.

You could get a fuel pressure safty switch, or a rich-lean safty switch.

You also need a bottle heater. It is very important to keep your pressure consistant. If its to low, you will run rich. If it's to high, you will run lean.

Blow down tube, blow off valve, and a nitrous pressure gauge if you are going to run the bottle heater. Also, it is not a bad idea to have a fire extinguisher in the car too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

you definetly need a window switch becuase if you over rev the engine without a window switch you have no way to stop the nitrous from spraying a tps switch is a great idea and a gen-x kit from nx is also a great idea i have a 98 trans am that has a nx 75-150 kit with 15 lb bottle w/heater fuel cut off switch tps switch and rocker panel swithces it is very safe i run a a4 so idont need a window switch you will ne very happy with that kit i went 11.74 at 118 mph this weekend on nittos with no motor work if you have any questions feel free to ask i installed my kit

Thanks for the responses. I did get the kit with blow down, heater, purge, and automatic opener. Just trying to find out the "other" items needed. Ordered the TPS switch yesterday, and I guess I'll get the RPM and fuel pressure switches ordered today.

If I run all three of these swtiches, do they all connect to the same circuit? Or do they turn off the nitrous through different circuits? Is there a hi-level wiring diagram anywhere?

Thanks.
