The TPS Switch activates by tying into the factory sensor, it meters the voltage and once it sees 85-90% throttle application it will activate. The WOT switch normally just mounts to your gas pedal and activates once the switch is pressed.

The window switch does not do the same thing as the TPS The window switch it used to prevent the nitrous from being activated at o low of an RPM and also to prevent the nitrous from flowing in case you hit the rev limiter.

If your car is the 99 model car in your sig you could use a mechanical WOT switch or TPS activation switch. Both will get the job done. I personally like the Electronic TPS switch better. It makes for a cleaner install and and you do not have to fight getting the mechanical switch arm to mate perfectly.

I am not a fan of the MSD window switch. Seems like to many customers I help have issues with them over a period of time. I would sell it and purchase a window switch unit that has the TPS activation all in one.

Something like this.

hmm...thanks Dave

I already have a Raptor shift light hooked up and working. will it work with all in one box?

do they make a box that has TPS activation switch, window switch and someway to pull time just while using nitrous but run normal when not.

I have an MSD Digital 6 box I used in my EFI SBC but it cant be used on the LS platform. SO i guess i can see that too.
