Thanks, I appreciate yours and others help on this matter, I do not know to much about cars and I really like these eagle Talons. This site is great. By the way, I heard a friend at work mention a high speed stall or anti-stall switch? Do you know what this is or what he may be talking about? Thanks

Well I'm assuming you're an auto trans, so... he's talking about a higher stall torque converter, this will allow you to get better launches off the line. The only switch I can think of that can be rigged is a switch to lock up the torque converter. I don't kno wthe exact wiring, but I have a friend that has done this, so he gets better throttle responce, which gives you better accell. If you rig this switch don't leave it on at a stop or the car will die.
