Rev limiter ideas

Greetings all,

How would one go about cutting out 1 spark plug on each bank of a 460?

I was talking to a guy who can make the RPM triggered switch, but what could I use to ground out the plug temporarily that wouldn't ground it all the time?

Someone mentioned cutting power to the coil, but that would kill all the plugs.

Also, what problems could I cause by grounding out a plug onve in a while?

Thanks in advance!

Kevin K.

If you want to go though all the trouble of something like that just buy a MSD rev limiter or a MSD 6, when you hit the rev limiter it will cut out every other spark plug, and then fire it on the next time around so I it doese'nt load up with fuel.

Cool. Thanks.

I'll look into those. Probably easier, too.

msd 6al has a rev limiter that you can set what rpm you want it to cut off at.
