Brake Pressure Switch for launch control ???

[SDT1DYI]

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!

I did that to my PP shifter Bobby, only activates in first gear. I mounted to the right side. I?ll take pics when I get home. Same brake switch too..

Anyone hook up this setup using a Turbo Action Cheetah with a reverse pattern 3 speed trans ?

I'd like to try it and making a switch to only work in low gear looks like a challenge.....

I haven't done it with a reverse pattern but I think it could be done fairly easily by mounting a momentary, lever micro switch on a bracket attached at the trans pan rail or in tandem with the shift cable bracket. Switches like these are available in short or long arm for less than $20. Should be able to activate when the shift lever arm is in low gear only.

Easy to do. I use a neutral start switch I got from turbo action.

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.....
