Default WOT switch question

I bought a used nitrous kit that doesn't have a WOT switch. What kinds are there and does it matter which kind I use?

There is another option to a WOT switch, that is a TPS. It reads the voltage from the throttle position sensor and activates the nitrous system that way.

We carry three types.
We carry the standard univerasal syle.THis one you have to build the bracket to fit.We carry a custome made billet bracket that comes with micro switch and connectors.And we carry a Electronic TPS switch.

Our custom Billet piece is really niice.Fits perfect and at a good price.

Is there any advantage between the regular ones and the ones that go off of voltage?

Can be a cleaner install for the TPS switch. I've seen both fail, so I can't say one is "safer" over the other.

Yep the Jimmy Jam's one for the LS1 is custom made just for the LS1 and looks really professional and clean. You can get these gorgeous colors so it compliments all the hard work you've done in your engine http://jimmy-jams.tripod.com/jjna3colorsls1.jpg
