As I add in more switches, I'm going to notch the center console (near the power window switches) and poke them through there.

Why would you make it switchable?

If he did it the only way I know of (that doesn't involve PROM burning), then he has to cut the VSS signal from the transmission which will afect a lot of other things such as the speedometer not working and shiftpoints will be strange. It's not something that you're supposed to leave disconnected for too long.

Exactly, i only swtich it when I have to and when i'm aproaching 105 or so, then turn it off immediatly after what ever reason i'm going so fast for. If that makes any sense
