Default Transbrake + Nitrous

Hey guys.
I'm going to be installing a wet kit (Nitro Dave's LS1Tech special, in fact) on a buddies '01 TA. The car has a TH400 with a transbrake and we'd like to shoot it with 200 or so.
Problem is, I don't have a wiring schematic or a clue how to wire the nitrous kit into the transbrake so that it won't activate until after the t-brake is released.

I had read a brief description on how to do it using a SPDT (single-pole double-throw) Bosch relay, but would still benefit from someone running me thru it step-by-step.

If you've got a schematic or step-by-step instructions, I'd really appreciate it.
I'm sure I could get it figured out sooner or later, but any thing you guys have got would help.

Thanks.

well, if you have a WOT switch and are NOT using a 2 step, then the wiring wouldn't really matter would it? since you wouldn't be at WOT until the light flashed

Good schematic nxricky. I was going to explain it the same way, but the schematic should be easier to follow.

Slow Z28: The car would sit at WOT on the transbrake while the tree comes down. I want to set it so that with the nitrous armed and the transbrake button activated, the nitrous will NOT spray. Once the t-brake button is released, it would spray.

NXRicky: Thanks for the help.
