need help! cant find answer im looking for!

ok heres the scoop, i got a 2000 grand prix with the l36 (non supercharged) 3800 v6, i have a NX efi wet nitrous kit for it with all the fixins (fpss, blow down, msd window, heater etc) i was reading in the NX installation book and it says that with the window switch u can run a WOT switch, but i find it impossible to mount it anywhere on the TB and on the GP forums they say they dont run the WOT switch, I am not exactly sure which one to go by, i know this is third gen or even f-body related but i need answers and the gp forums are pretty much useless up to this point, any help would be apreciated

You HAVE to use a WOT switch, or some other switch, to control the solenoids. A window switch by itself will not allow the engine to return to idle.

Also you never want the nitrous flowing at anything less than WOT, meaning that it will only flow at WOT, and using the window switch no less than 3000 RPM and shut off before the rev limiter.

As long as there is a cable to move the throttle plate, there is a way to add a WOT switch, even without a cable, the pedal itself can be used too.

well, if I still had the 3800 in my bird, and I wanted to juice it,, I would probably use one of those micro switches ( unless the nx kit caint use that), but then I'm not an expert on juice either

Even though it's non-thirdgen, you MAY get a response in the power-adder section.
