oh boy i knew this was coming, ok thats the way yours is setup but you can have them set up anyway you want. im sure you can wire them to any switch and no its not legal in any pure street,pro street,et street,true street,non-electronics, or ford vs chevy classes. i think its a super comp class or higher where you can use it i would have to check my nhra book. i was 13 or 14 years old when my dad was running it and i was more worried about girls than racing back then but i will call him later and find out exactly.

not at all, your not manipulating anything other than normal engine parameters which is no diffrent than tuning a carb.

No electronics means you can't use a delay box or a trans brake.

Not always true. Often they will have a Box class,a No box class and even a Tbrake and foot break class. Most No Electronics classes will aloow a T-brake, but the only to know for sure is to check with the local track.
