that's right....
But what is a microswitch? Is that just a button you hold down, so it's on while it's down and off while it's up? If so wouldn't a switch under the gas pedal do it? Floor it and you press the little button, let off the gas to shift, it cuts the nos, and just regular cruising you wouldn't have it mashed so you wouldn't be on the bottle so to speak. Or is that just a really bad idea?

microswitch: small siwtch that opens the nitrous circuit only when the vehicle is at wide open throttle (in this application).
System must also be armed.
I can provide a good wiring diagram if anyone wants...
Really, most systems don't use a button, just a toggle to arm the system and then a WOT switch. Hitting a button is too F&F for me, and I would rather just flip a toggle in 2nd or third and hang onto the steering wheel than worry about keeping one finger on a button.

Take a look at our site. We installed both the wet and dry kits on our car's and there is a full article on both with full install instructions and what does what. www.fc3s.org then click on How-To's then on Engine. Dave talks about the do's and don'ts on installing NOS brand kits. Hope this helps.

Can someone correct me, it looks like the NOS kit comes with 4 fogger nozzles(unnecesary) and the NX kit comes with one. It has beeen said that plumbing the jet before the TB can cause puddles in the manifold, therefore plumbing 2 into the runners is safer. Any truth to this?

NOS kit comes with 1 fogger-2 nozzle.
Plumbing into the TB is the normal set up, and above 3000 rpm smaller sized (125hp or less) shots will be fine.
Plumbing in two nozzles into the runners is more a direct-port injection setup. Could be done as well, for bigger shots.
With that setup, why not run 4? You're bigger than 125 anyway.
Either way... if you are asking, you don't know about nitrous and shouldn't be runing more than 125 hp shots anyway.
And if you do know enough, you'll understand what I'm talking about, and can build a system to handle direct port.
I'm building a direct-port nitrous injection system, with 4 plumbed nozzles. Two stage, and a timer will be added soon.
Parts are in the mail...
