Alky Control amperage

[michael evans]

Has anyone ever measured the amperage that Alky Control system uses/needs to operate ?

I had my system wired though a nice looking but cheap toggle switch and it melted it internally and shorted it to ground.

When I rewire it, I want to use a better rated switch.

It doesn't draw a lot of current. There is no need for a toggle switch imo. The voltage source is switched power and the system can be shut off by turning the gain knob counterclockwise.

So I can turn the knob all the way counter-clock wise to turn the system off ?

Yes but i wouldn't rec doing so unless you have some other failsafe reminder to turn it back on if you run low octane fuel

I don't turn the boost up unless I am at the track.

I set the controller to 15 psi on the street

A toggle switch on the alky system? That's asking for trouble.

you do know that the alky kit is progressive right? Never turn it off. Ive seen quite a few blown head gaskets from deteriorating vacuum lines.

It is coming off.
