Default Anyone Using a Full Throttle Nitrous Switch?

I was wondering how many of you Nitrous Gurus are using Full Throttle Switches and which one you're using, pros/cons? any pics of how you have it set up? Has anyone tried the TPS one?
Thanks

almost all serious or at least manual tranny nitrous sprayers run wot switches. I will be running a combination of window and wot switches. the ones that go on the throttle body.
personally I like the one nx ships with their kits, it just looks a little more heavy duty than the one i got with my holley/nos kit.

i use to have the switch on a bracket that was welded to the throttle body.
long story short it cost me a race and almost a motor.i just keep it simple.i drill and tap the shifter *** and put the button there.but on the next set up i am doing.i will make it like a trigger on a gun switch.

put a switch on the throttle body for wot and an activation switch in the car. it will be much safer that way.

We use the nitrous outputs from the ecu. Then you have mph, tps, rpm and load to control when the nitrous is shut on and off. Plus the benifits of tuning fuel and ignition. I love Neptune

I use the micro switch on the throttle body also allows me to be able to play with traction. Not a whole lot of stuff to complicate things and forget to hit that button and this button stuff. I've never tried the other way though so you might want to see what feels good to you.

Thanks for all the replies, people. I have always used just a button on the various nitrous set ups I've had throughout the years. It's just gotten harder to keep my damn thumb on the button on slicks and with a higher hp output than I used to have, so I figured I'd go with a WOT switch on the throttle body. Went to buy one and there's a million different ones with similar designs and some different. I wasn't sure if someone had a prefered manufactuer, if any company that made one that worked a bit better than another.

Neptune is $750.00 installed and dyno tuned. back

I don't mean to thread jack, but has anybody been able to use a full throttle switch on an STR throttle body. I can't find a place to put it

I normally use nitrous control through the aem. However, when the throttle body is a difficult place to mount a switch, I'll install the switch on the pedal.
