Default transbrake wiring

transbrake hookup. what i want to do is wire up my transbrake (tci) to a button but i dont want to use an ignition box. i'm not sure if i need to use a 2 step to let me launch about 3500rpm. i've looked around on the internet for wiring diagrams but didn't see anything. any help is appreciated.

If you do not want any type of ignition control box, I don't think you can use a 2 step.

You could wire the transbrake button to an inline linkage air throttle stop to use as a starting line RPM limiter.

you can hold the pedal down and watch your tach and try to keep it at 3500,or if you had a vert that stalled right at 3500 you could hold it to the wood
mine is hooked to a 2 step which is hooked to a 6al msd

I just noticed the part about the 2 step so I thought The MSD link would help him.

i have givin the idea of holding the go pedal at 3500 with the button pressed and then lettin off and smashin gas but it would be nice to have someting do it all at once. i also looked at throtle stops but $$$$. i might as well just buy ignition box.
