Re: 2 step off brake pressure switch ?
That's what I did too, I don't think I've come close to activating at the top end yet. But I do have a switch already installed, and putting it inline with power to the pressure switch is a good idea. I might try that some time. I put that switch in before I encountered the "unbroken wire" rule and never hooked it up.

Re: 2 step off brake pressure switch ?
I'm sure I've posted this before.
Release was in the brake pedal.The system only worked with the shifter in low gear . Not possible to leave off the micro switch in low. I suppose someone could try to pull a fast one and leave in 2nd with an auto upshift deal. Still would be kind of awkward to use the switch (and the pedal button) on the line. I never had a problem..No. 1 Q, record holder, etc.

Re: 2 step off brake pressure switch ?
You don't want the limiter coming on at the finish line..even accidentally .
You can get the boot for that.

I tend to scrub the brakes before the stripe to tighten it up, doing this with my foot on the throttle. If I didn't have a way to shut the 2 step off it would stutter at the top end. I have a switch that controls the power to the brake pressure switch and a small LED on the dash to show when the brake pressure activates the 2 step so I know I'm on the brake hard enough at the starting line. I've thought about using a high gear pressure switch on the trans that would open the power circuit in high gear. |
