Is the switch on the brake pedal used simply as a rev limiter, limiting the amount of rpm's that you stall the converter? Also, is the switch on your shifter wired in conjunction with the roll control? This allowing you to control the peak rpm during your burnout.

Robert, The 3 step is commonly used as such:
Module 1, used to limit starting line RPM.Usually an adjustable module
Module 2 , used for high side over- rev protection
Module 3 , used to limit burnout RPM, commonly hooked to the line loc
(Not used in car in picture.)

The switch on shifter is used to complete the 12V feed from the brake pedal button to the 3 step box for Module 1, in low gear only. That way, it won't activate when braking at the finish line.
