I think the battery kill switch is for cars with distributor , not needed if running a mag

Lots of goo ideas on batteries and saving weight.  I have a distributor in my FED but my other car has a Mag and I use a Flaming River combination battery and Mag kill switch.

With a full size battery on board I also run the Flaming River main power & Mag kill switch. It is mounted between the mid plate and the fire wall. I would never mount a battery on the drivers side of the fire wall.

We also use the Flaming River mag and battery switch. Works great....
We have an XSPower AGM 16volt battery on board. We charge it up at the shop prior to an event and it will last the entire event with no need to recharge.
