WS AND WOT or WS only? As I wire this new motor I keep coming up with ideas and questions. So since i'm using a Window Switch should I still use a WOT (or in my case TPS) switch?
Yes, the window switch just turns the nitrous on and off at a specified RPM the WOT switch will only let the nitrous engage when the throttle is open all the way. If you only do the window switch there is a chance the nitrous could start flowing before you reach WOT which could and probably will cause engine damage.

Scenerio with out a Full throt sw, only a window:
Lets just say you put it to the floor and bring it up to 5,000rpms, your really ripping now, then you let off the gas and get on the brake. RPMs are still high but your off the gas, nitrous would still flow.... bad. See where I'm going.
Ricky said it best, You need both for sure.

Here's a little insight. Now remember this is a dry set up. I was doing some testing. and I taped the wot sw down so I could see when/if things were going correctly. Well the next weekend on the way to the track, I have my system set-up automatically on when key is on, I first noticed I could get my shifts syncroed, the rpms stayed up like I was speed shifting but wasn't. then i had to stop at bank, and when pulling out I got on it, and thought to myself, wow this bad boy is running good today. then at track doing burn out then to lights, the rpms stayed up around 5000rpm for a period of time, I am wondering what the hay. Made a crappy run, and it's still holding rpms up on return lane, I look over at my WS indicator lights and see both stages are on at a low rpm. Then it pits I realise tape is on sw, dork attack. well didn't hurt anything, but it's so unpredictable using off rpm based only, no good. I didn't hurt anything and kept on racing. Also, if your in a high gear lugging the motor you don't want spray coming on. If it was a wet kit I may have taken my intake off?

Well thanks guys...this question just came up at lunch today during a phone call. My pal just swapped his Cobra TB to an Accufab and the bracket that NOS supplies for the 03-04 Cobra only fit his stock TB. We were brain storming and the thought occured to delete the WOT switch. Later after Vinny's post it hit me that there were simply too many scenarios where the motor would be between the WS rpm range. See i'm trying to blame a Cobra driver for this question. LOL. Anyway...I knew in my heart that both switches were necessary...just not all the reasons why. Lastly, Robert how smart is it to have your system arm with Ignition? I know you know what you are doing, but it seems like you are missing a level of safety no not have a master arm switch?

This way anytime I get in car, heater starts, bottle opens, noids/wss are all powered and ready. Meaning, I never have to think, is this on, that hot, power on, allways ready is my moto. I can simply reach over and still over ride by shut whatever off. I don't get caught with my pants down. Oh, by the way the two green lights are my indicators telling me that 1st and 2nd stage are activated.
