Default Enabled high boost control! Cheap!

Parts:

N.O. 3a Micro switch

Cigarette lighter extension with coil cord

Cut off the male end for the lighter and wire it to the micro switch for a right thumb switch and a lower left inward lighter male end tape in inward for strain releif for easy on the fly pluging in.
The coil cord will be on the ground disabled when not needed. Plugged in for a full range of steering motion when enabled.

$17 with good logic built in!

Excuse me Gentlemen! Garbage English writing?! But, the concept works perfect for me.
Essentially I have an idiot proof high boost system with built in checks and balances since high boost is really only germane for fourth gear in a pretty straight line. So let me explain its use.
On the freeway I want to go more so I reach down and grab to female lighter connector with the 10' coil cord off the floor and push it onto the male lighter connector which is taped to the lower left hand corner steering wheel spoke inward, out of the way. Now I have access with my right thumb to the micro switch on the steering wheels right upper spoke, rear. This setup has triple safty as I have three checks for the high boost, the steering wheel connection and the micro switch with both hands on the steering wheel.
Anyway, I got near a ZR1 at the car show last night at a car get together and I loved both cars and they noticed mine as it is something special now, finally, throughout.
I love high for boost leaving average cars 1/8 mile behind me in 3s at less then 5000rpm.
Also, it's a Electron blue STS 02 Z with a new bitchen SS wing, if I do say so myself!
Thanks!
