so with the WOT switch do you still have to set the RPM limits? or how does a WOT switch work and where do you wire it into? And what do you guys think of the HSW wet plate kit?

The WOT switch is needed. Its just a micro switch thats hooked upto your throttle body and makes it so you only spray at WOT. Its a must in all nitrous kits.

So all you do is hook it to the TB? And Bpohlman are you planning on keeping your handheld tuner? or are you switching to a chip?

Like mentioned above it's wired to the throttle body. The only really good reason for you to run a window switch with the auto is so you don't spray at to low of a rpm. That really isn't a good thing, but with a smaller shot it would most likely be okay.

the window switch is getting thrown in with the kit for a extra $20 so i mind as well do it.
And what are some tips on maintain a nitrous setup, and maintaining my motor while on nitrous?
And does anyone recommend a lean shut off? Or is it not really necessary?

Honestly, if you're just running a 75-100 shot there's not a lot you need to do. Change your plugs and check them every so often, make sure the solenoids and fuel system stay in good working order, and have it tuned. Maintain the car like you normally would. The lean off switch is not necessary at your level.

The microedge controller is a WOT switch, window switch and a/f safety shutoff all in one.

I used to think like this until my auto trans slipped on me. If I would have been spraying when that happened I would have more than likely been fkd

For as cheap as it is, especially for the HSW controller, it would be a good idea/investment.
