nope... there's a perfect hole already drilled and tapped near the throttle hammer that is PERFECT for mounting your wide open throttle switch.

Does anyone make a electrical WOT switch so we don't have to fabricate one?

i had mine mounted RITE on the throttle. if u're looking at it you pull it up to rev the engine, well the switch was just mounted on the top where that screw is w/ a very small aluminium plate so that when the throttle comes up it hits the switch.

I just don't trust myself fabricating a nitrous switch. Too afraid of having something go wrong. I would prefer to have something like a Zex kit to electronicly "hit the button" at WOT.

It is ridiculous how easy it is to mount the WOT switch! Just mount the switch to the straight bracket. Screw the bracket onto the throttle bottle using the hole on top of the throttle body. Bend the bracket down so that the switch will be pressed in when at WOT. Just start doing it and you'll see what I mean.

I can post pics if you guys want. It'll be about a week or so because my car's still in the body shop.

THATS what i thought you had to do! cause without bending the bracket, the switch sits at the wrong angle and woould'nt work. SO you do have to bend it... i was gonna do that but wanted to be sure i wasen't missing anything first.
thanks

Yes you HAVE to bend it. Here's on old pic, the quality sucks but I think you'll be able to see what I'm talking about.

Just a tip:

Make SURE that you tighten the WOT switch nuts/bolts REAL TIGHT. Mine would keep vibrating loose until I used different bolts.

Good Luck!
