No. The 2- step rpm for launching is usually much lower than the burnout rpm.

Correct.

Which is why I asked. Typically the switch will go in the rear brake line. With the switch in the front brake line it's going to be on during the burnout. Unless you turn the activation pressure way up on the switch, then you risk the potential of it not coming on when you are bumping it in and staging.

If you put the pressure switch between the master cylinder and the line lock, it should not activate during the burnout. At least that is how I see it. If the switch is mounted after the line lock then yes it will be activated during the burnout.

Robert is right.The line lock will hold the pressure on its output side, not the input.

I have this setup in real life., it is not theoretical.It works very well.

Might be off thread a little, where or who did you get the switch from?
