BURN OUT

Burnout Rev Limit. When 12 volts are applied the Burnout Rev Limit is
active. This disables the Slew Rate rev limits and overrides other rev limits.
It is recommended to have this wire switched from an outside source,
such as the crew chief before the burnout and while staging the car.

DK BLUE 21

LAUNCH

This wire activates the Launch Rev Limit and is the main reset wire for
several features of the Ignition. When 12 volts are applied to this wire it
will activate the Launch Rev Limit. It also resets the shift light, the gear
indicator to first gear, the Launch Retard curve and select Gear 1 curve.
When 12 volts is removed, the Launch Time begins as does the Gear 1
curve. When 12 volts are applied the Slew Rate Rev limit will be disabled
as well as the Time-Based Rev Limit curve.
