Adger,

That switch is completely up to the job, even more than need for a drag car. The 1000 amp rating is "momentary" thus more than enough capacity for starter draw. The 180 amp continuous rating is well beyond any need of a race car system.

Most starting systems draw less than 250 amps. And when the car is running with every thing on, you generally would not have more than 25 - 35 amp draw. [could be less depending on you components]
