That's what I thought. Then how is the one that JD30thZ28 work? And sence you seem to be the only one on this board that's using the one from jimmy-jams, do you think it's worth the $$ to save the trouble of trying to bend a NX braket to make the one I have work? And droptop, sorry I'm busting in on your post so much.

I would say yes it better than Tanners if you don't have a switch already. I'm just debating on weather it worth the $30 to not have to try and bend the NX braket that came with my kit.

No problem Bro. We have the same problem right now. I want my install to be as clean as possible and I haven't seen a NX switch yet mounted a way that I wouldn't mind seeing every time I opened my hood if you know what I mean.

That's the whole point of the ones JimmyJam's makes....the generic piece that comes with most kits is a pain in the butt and it's ugly- you have the bend it and figure out where to put it and how to bend it and by then you could go through several of the flimsy things trying to figure it out and no matter what - you are still left with this little ugly piece of metal you rigged however which way. The Jimmy Jam ones are already custom made for the LS1's, LT1, carbs, etc to just bolt right on.... they are good looking and complimentary to your engine and your nitrous system. I know I'd rather have a part that was made to fit a part of my engine that looked really cool versus some piece of metal and was told "here, figure this out and who cares how it looks". That's just me though. Those that have them - love them- they look way better than the pics btw.

The one in the kits are nice, neat and ready to bolt on. The one from NX is a cheap a$$ brackett that is to be used on any car. Anyone can bend it up to make it work, but it looks like crap when your done. The reason the one from Jimmy Jams comes with a swithc is because the have the right lenght already cut on the metal arm, and some have roller tips instead of a long arm to acticate it. It is application specific not one size fits all...if you have an e-mail I will send you pics of mine on my car...

ZIPPITYZ-

Can you PLEASE give me some way to get in touch with this guy- JimmyJam. Every time I go to the site and try to go to the 'Order' part, it takes me to the switch box secction. There's no phone # or anything else that I can see to get in touch with anyone.

I want to buy one but need to contact someon if it's at all possible. If he wants to get with me- cityva3@hotmail.com OR 804-909-4395


Thanks, Jon

it has three because you can hook it up diff ways, constant on, and then on when he switch is clicked. use the prong that is the lower one, then there are 2 on a higher position, use the one closest to the lower prong,
