the best thing to get and it is what I used is a TPS switch. Nitrous Express makes one and they are like $80. What they do i read the voltage being putting out when you press the pedal and when the set actiavtion voltage is reached it opens the solenoids. You can also get a switch that goes under your pedal and when your pedal is all the way down it hits the switch and activates. If I were you and you want safety get the NX TPS switch. Also get a MSD window switch no matter what. I got the digital one and it is nice!

or a Harlan window switch. it does the same thing as the msd but only cost 55 shipped and is digital. so no chips to play with. either way tigerfan is right. get a window switch.

HEre is the new MAF kit we are coming out with for the one piece systems. It would include a TPS sensing switch. 50-150 standard hp settings.

NXRICKY that maf setup looks awsome What do you guys think is aef to run in a stock ride. I only have true duals and cutouts so I dont know what is dangerous. Also what kind of price would I see for this type of setup?

Does that MAF kit slide over the rear of a stock maf, or is it a replacement unit?

The one they sent me fit a F-body MAF and replaced the ends,so I sent it back.That was a year ago,but I don't think they have changed it.That was from NX,most of the nitrous parts are for an F-body anyway,but us truck guys can hope.

This kit looks very interesting, it looks like it goes on the back of the MAF, This might be what I am looking for.
