I just have a push button on the back of my Cheetah shifter & the shifter contacts it in low gear (forward pattern), activating the brake pressure switch.

Slightly off topic here, but is it legal to use a momentary switch that's not mounted directly to the brake pedal that you hit with your foot? Like a WOT switch on the back side of the pedal that makes contact when the pedal is depressed a certain amount? I could go through the rule book and check myself but I'm lazy and I don't want to. TIA

Now, I?m not sure if I?m just ignorant, oblivious, etc, but I don?t understand the issue of having a brake pressure switch active during the run. My 2 step is activated at 600psi. More than likely, if you?re using more than 5-600psi on a run, you are probably not going to be under power, and probably close to locking up the front brakes. To the best of my knowledge, if engine rpm is above the 2 step rpm, ignition will be cut completely.

Makes sense about the brake pressure switch being active down track and not triggering the 2 step because you're not applying enough pressure to trigger it....
The info I've gathered here has helped Thanks...

If you don't have some way to deactivate the brake pressure switch down track in theory it could activate the 2 step when you do any hard braking.( dumping, hard backing into, ect) Depending on when, where, and how you hit the brakes that activated the 2 step it could be said you were activating a down track stutter device. I would hate to have that discussion with NHRA Tech. Some sort of deactivation switch is the route that might be all around the best and safest.
