Corvette (TPS or WOT Switch?) Got Dave's Dual Nozzle and it has the WOT Switch, but my guy that is installing that just did a few Vettes said he used the TPS and liked that.
He said it is like $75-80. What do you guys think? Is this any better, more full proof in terms of errors. If money was no object which route would you take.
Thanks

oh Ya I ran a 7.38 at 93.50 MPH last week at the track (just go sometimes) . I am gonna be fast when I add this Nitrous.
I am already cleaning the shelves off so I have some room to put the trophies on.

The TPS can be problematic, whereas, the wot sw is fool proof. Also cleaner install with a wot under throotle pedal.
Yep, you gona be fast, I hit a 94.76 tonight, and a new best ET on a half full bottle and a small hit. You got to your 1/8 mph quicker than I did though. What kind of 60'er did you get? I had a 1.692.

On your vehicle I would say go with the TPS. I say that because the TPS is only going to activate when the ECU tell's the throttle body to be at WOT. If you put the mechanical WOT switch under the pedal there could be a problem. Example: You put the pedal to the floor (wot) which sends a signal to the ECU telling it you want wot, but the ECU doesn't think the car can handle being at wot at that point in time so it opens the TB less than 100%. However, since the pedal is on the floor the wot switch on the nitrous system is activated regardless of how much throttle the motor is at.
I have not had any calls about this being a problem, but based on how the ECU works as far as controlling the throttle I personally would not want to chance it.

Robert, my 7.38 at 93.50 MPH I had a 60' of either 1.65 or 1.68 on my BFG Drag Radials (295/35/18).
OK, I just ran and got the slip here it is EXACTLY:
60' 1.6735
330 ft 4.7608
1/8 ET 7.3852
1/8 MPH 93.48
I will maybe run 6.8 at 100 MPH on a 100 shot????

For an 02 Z06 which color wire do you hook the NX TPS to? Both wires on the driver side of the throttle body have battery voltage 11. something when un hooked & switch is on.
On the pass. side 6 wire connector when un hooked and switch is on all have 0v except green has just over 5v and yellow has 4.9_ v. Voltage does not change as throttle is depressed.
When both sides are connected the throttle plate opens & closes when the gas pedal is pressed.
On the pass. side 6 wire connector when un hooked and switch is on all have 0v except green has just over 5v and yellow has 4.9_ v. Voltage does not change as throttle is depressed.
When both sides are connected the throttle plate opens & closes when the gas pedal is pressed.

Now I want to find matching male & female 6-wire connectors so I can make a connector to plug in between the factory plug and the throttle body and bring my wire off of the connector. I prefer not to splice into the factory wiring. That way when I take the system off I can just plug the factory connector back in.
Does anyone know where to get the weather pack connectors?
