wiring for a two stage setup I was looking for pics of a multi stage nitrous setup. I will have one stage on the throttle and am about put one on a seperate button. I am horrible at wiring (no patience) and I am looking for Ideas on how to keep things neat.

just finished mine. basically, i wired in two seperate systems. dual microswitches. i have the first one armed for launch. then turn the second stage on when traction allows. power switches in the ashtray.

the second stage is just like yours, won't come on unless both the microswitch and the power switch is on.

Just hook the second stage up just like the other stage with a separate relay and on/off switch. Use one WOT switch.

ooopppsss should have read closer... Sorry about that,, I know Dave sales a harness so it all looks oem...
My opinion is to route all wires along side a current harness, then it will not look out of place...
and put your wires in a high temp loom, not that crap from autozone.

just to ease your mind, i do run a relay on the wife's car. wife's car, i'm a little more cautious about it. not by much. the FPSS switch that came with the kit is in my toolbox.
i could have run both off one microswitch. but, hey two wires with one more microswitch versus one microswitch with a relay to the second system with four more wires coming off of it. less wiring makes me happy. it's mine, it's how i wanted to do it.
