We carry the tps and a Billet bracket and micro switch.It looks like the one in this link.
This one is for a LS1 but the Lt1 is made similar.

the thing is though that it's universal the one from jimmie jams and nitro dave (wish i would have known you had that for the lt1 when i ordered my other parts) is designed for the that application. they are clean and easy to install i can't say from expereince on nitro daves but i'm sure if he is selling it it's got to be just as nice and easy to install, by the way how much is that WOT dave?

well the plan was to go with the nx control panel, but if i can get the TPS switch and switch panel from jimmy for 50 bucks then ill prolly go that route. but one question, i was planning on putting a bottle opener on the system. will a regular toggle switch work for that?? and also, i was thinking about hiding everything on the inside of the car so where should i mount the gauges??? i might get the square digital ones from dynotune because they would be easier to hide. any suggestions????

For a bottle opener you need a special switch! Well if your talking about the motor type openers or NOS opener. If you use the DynoTune solenoid opener you can use one regular switch.
We sell both opener styles at DynoTuneNitrous.com

Cheers
