Default WOT on C5

I purchased a TNT power ring kit for my C5, Im trying to figure out where to mount the WOT switch since it didnt come with a fly by wire box (that you get from NX).. IM guessing somewhere on the Gas pedal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. PICS???

Mount it up by the gas pedal. I think I remember seeing some pictures someone like Robert or Beer had up of a switch up by the gas pedal. They used a bolt that was already on the floor board.

The cleanest look is the WOT sw under the pedal. The problematic TPS sw just adds more wiring mess under the hood, imo. Thestandard for many years, though, the companies don't make as much $$ on the 2 dollar wot sw. The pic is down in the stickies as that web site is no longer any good, old comcrap site.

I didn't mean to imply that you had a problem. A certain percentage of users have had issues, and not pointing to any brand, though a small %. I can't remember a single post on problems with the WOT SW. Anyway, it's just my personal opinion on running a WOT SW rather than a TPS.

The picture below is of a GTO, as I can't find my other pictures. Should be able to get the idea of what we are talking about.

i gotcha , i swore off WOT throttle switches when i had my throttle assembly get stuck on the switch somehow and got stuck WOT. Very scary to say the least.

Was that a wot SW under the pedal, or one under the hood? I don't like the under hood ones either, looks generally tacky, IMO.

I'm running the TPS from the DynoTune lean shutdown switch. Works great.
