Matt is it going to be a direct plug in for the vettes or are we still going to have to use a relay on the clutch wire?

That's one of the changes

The inputs for arming/latch/etc are now configurable. You can choose to have them active with ground or 12V applied, and also which way the switch is setup, normally open/closed.

The base unit will be pretty much the same otherwise. The harness is now removable, with a sealed connector at the enclosure.

also changing the "relay output" to an actual onboard relay with all 3 terminals available for use. That way the user can choose how to use the feature.

from there, the upgrades (released after the base unit) will include a 3 step version providing a second adjustable limiter for staging, burnout, etc. With a variety of options on how the 2 limiters interact.

There will "hopefully" be an option to add an adjustable retard feature when the 2 step is active. I'm leaving myself open to add that feature as I'll be trying to get big turbos to spool. If it works like I want/think it will be an option for upgrade.

I am also leaving myself open to add a remote control feature. But that's low on the priority scale.
