Default Using relay to send ground?

Do I have this right? Im a wring noob.

Im wanting a toggle switch to power a relay and send ground to PCM Pin 56. This setup will be hooked in conjunction with my Arm switch

Is this hooked up correctly on the relay once the relay is powered it will ground out the circuit?

I take it you are using EFI Live's Custom Operating System #5? If so, why not use a DPDT relay?

Doc, Its anthony Im letting you tune the car.... We talked on the phone last week about this.

yes its EFI live COS 5 as far as the DPDT I have no clue how to do that. This seemed like a easy setup All I have to do is slice right into the Hot wire on pin 86and have that wire power the nitrous relay, and the relay to switch on the tune.

This way I flip the arm switch, the Kit is armed, and instantly grounds pin56 for cos5

What do u think doc?
