Default Installing a 2 step rev limiter

Does anybody know how to hook one of these up? The main issue that i'm running into is finding the cluctch switch. It appears that I have to run a wire to the clutch switch but I don't know where that is. Any help would be appreciated. Pics would be great. Thanks

You can do it with a tune?

Only if you have a dyno tune or you have sniper commando. Plus when they tune for a 2 step they cut fuel to do it with the MSD one they cut spark which is much safer.

I didn't know that, I haven't really looked into it with the advantage 3xx. I always thought that bouncing of the rev limiter wasn't that great for your engine. Although I can see how it would be neat for drag racing.

So does it just dump the unburnt fuel into the exhaust...

You don't actually hit your rev limiter with this. You set yourself a new one which downs the spark. Your stock rev limiter is not affected. Does anybody have any advice for the question at hand though?
