My questions are:

Do I need to use a TPS to activate the nitrous? Or can I still use a WOT switch and have the nitrous come on with the release of the transbrake button?

Can I use the ECU ignition control with my current MSD distributor and coil? Or do I have to go with a cam sync and CNP?
If you are going full EFI then you will already have a TPS to control fueling so using it for nitrous control will be very easy. Would probably harder to figure out how to use a WOT switch. You can have multiple requirements that need to be active before the nitrous will enable. For example you can have nitrous system armed, TPS greater than 85% and transbrake not active. This will activate the nitrous system on the release of the transbrake.

You can use your distributor, coil and I assume MSD box to control timing and retards. If you move to a cam sync and CNP you avoid any possible issues with distributor phasing and can plot a timing curve. This is helpful when you are maximizing your timing with the system on.
