    Ok thanks. I will look into that. It's a c6 that I had built with all the good stuff. So I will have to talk to the guy that built it and see what he says

    it seems like your talking about the launch rpm limiter. if you trans backs up when you put the shifter in reverse you dont have a transbrake. if you have to push the transbrake button to back up then you do have a transbrake.

    if you want to use the launch rpm feature of your msd then you will want to run power to the push button on your shifter, then run the other wire from the shifter button over to the msd rpm limiter wire.

    this way you can set you launch rpm on the msd and when you push the botton you will be able to floor the gas and the motor wont rev past your chosen launch rpm. you will need to be pushing the brakes to keep the car from moving.

    then when your ready to launch you will release the brakes and the shifter button at the same time.

    there is a way to make it so when you push the brake pedal then push the shifter button and release it, it will hold the launch rpm limiter on till you release the brakes.

    I want it so I don't have to hold the brake and I launch when I release the button. But I got bigger fish to fry, my cam grounded the teeth off my distributor gear. So I been workin all day on figuring that out and now I go the oil pan out. And had to take the steering rack out to get the pan out. Just another nightmare to add to the list

    the diagram shows the two step rev limiter wire going to the transbrake control wire. it can be used with or with out the transbrake. the digital 6 does not control the transbrake.
