Default Brake Pressure Switch for launch control ???

I have a new stocker that has a brake pressure switch for launch control and I am trying to understand how it works and how to set it properly? I am just an old 2 step switch kind of guy (and am easily confused).

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Folk Race cars closed. The switch you want has an adjustable pressure Range 100 to 1000 PSI. 3 wires. Black wire is not used.
Recommend wiring power to it thru a 3rd gear micro switch.
Power is removed to the BPS when in 3rd gear ( if a 3sp Auto)
This will allow you to apply brakes at 1,000 and the 2 step will not be activated.
Set up a LED light in the circuit so you know when the 2 step is powered up with right brake PSI
Believe they are 200.00 or so.

Has anyone done this with Precision Shifter forward pattern? Can someone send me a pic or point me to a good reliable microswitch and mount? Thanks!

There should be a micro switch that PPP can supply that mounts opposite side of the Netural safety switch. It's triggered by the same rod. No external bracket and switch required then . Very clean and they provide a screw on connector wiring harness same as the Safety switch hasness .

Just curious how much brake pressure do you use at the starting line? I have seen a lot of data and have never seen brake pressure over 4-500 psi (on 160 mph plus cars). I would think anymore than that would lock em up bad at the stripe.....
