Delteq question!

I just bought my delteq kit just the other day and was wondering if any one figured out a way to wire a aftermarket rev liniter to this kit. Also if any body has any pics of installs other than the way the company shows i would appreciate some pics. Thanks.

They are zip tied to my strut tower brace and everything. When I have time I am going to work on re routing them around the engine or maybe cutting them down. I think my friend said the shortest wire was 44 inches long! About the rev limiter, I already looked into and you can use the DIS-4 ignition from MSD but the Delteq guy told me a box isn't really neccesary with the output of the Delteq. LT1 Edit has an adjustable rev limiter but I assume you don't have that since you are asking this.

Stock limiter is fuel cut, MSD cuts the spark which is easier on the engine.

Exactly, i wasnt wanting to cut fuel to the motor. I was wanting to cut spark because it seems to me that would be a lot safer in the long run. Also im tossing around the idea of getting the bottle so i definitely would like to cut spark in that situation. Thanks guys.

Hmm, I didn't know it cut the fuel. That could be bad, lol For my nitrous, I have a fuel pressure safety switch which will shut the solenoids down if pressure drops below 30 psi.

I could do something along the lines of the safety switch, but it would be nice to run some type of aftermarket rev limiter as a back up safety precaution. I just want to protect the motor the best i can. I just really dont want to buy the aftermarket DIS-4 to do that.
