In reply to this thread:
Here is the breakdown on the Terminator Button. The terminator button has been tested to have a total of .040 to .045 worth of 'delay'. The button itself has .01 delay built because of the micro-switch placement inside of it. The remaining .030-.035 worth of delay is in the travel. As far as the shims, each button comes with a row of shims as well as a 'tip' sheet which tells you the value of each shim.
The Harrington switch has been tested to have .020 to .030 worth of delay depending on the user and how hard they press it down. As an average it has .025 worth of travel.
Location of the button has some effect also. We heard that some racers mounted the "Terminators" in a vertical position and got even higher numbers of delay. Vertically mounting the buttons caused the racer to hold it down harder.
As far as "inconsistencies" mentioned in this thread, the button MUST be hooked up to a practice tree in a pro tree mode to test for accurate consistencies and repeatability of any button. The Pro Tree is the best way to test a button since you simply react to the bulb, and not wait for the third amber.
Hope this info helps. We have very thoroughly tested this button.
