Yes,

You just have to change the title/search query up, you'll eventually be able to get it to search/post.

The video's not working

Yes, I'm a ricer.

I'm running a Haltech E6X, using the accessory input (along with a relay from Radio-Shack) to control the two-step rev-limiter function. It's basically a hardware-controlled toggle of the ignition cut RPM.

It's activated with the clutch (using the clutch switch). Set the two-step at whatever RPM you want to hold, and step on the clutch.

Clutch-in = Rev-limit at a defined point
Clutch-out = Normal rev-limit

It's really useful for the drag stip. Simply set the RPM you want to launch at in the two-step. When you get to the line, push the clutch in and hammer down. The car will redline at your defined RPM, lift off the clutch and you've got a perfect, consistent launch.

Eventually we ended up running the circuit through a toggle switch (formerly cruise-control) to facilitate pre-stage burnouts. So now, it's basically a push-button flame-thrower.

Hell yeah

Mine shoots flames, but I've never seen it myself. It's always after one of my friends will follow me and they go "holy **** dude, fire comes out of your exhaust!" It's pretty effective for getting rid of tailgaters too
