Default Control panel completed....... Pic's

Wanted to post a few pictures of my completed "Control" panel. For far to long in my console cubbie lingered my Exhaust Cut, Launch Controller and 91 Octane to 104 Octane fuel switch. Just kind of flopping around there, always an eyesore if not tucked away. Went to a hobby shop and had a panel made up and now that it is installed it has really cleaned up the presentation and appearance of my interior. Pretty slick, a fair amount of work but looks almost OEM. What do you all think?

Not too shabby! That's not a bad place to use at all! I've seen others remove a vent or remove something that is original and useful in the car (sacrifice for want/need).

Nice job, but what exactly do the switches on the right do?

Hey thanks.... As for the switches on the right, the launch controller is essentially a brake lock so I don't over power my brakes while building boost during the staging process. We determined where my brakes start failing to hold back the car and where we start spinning the tires and then backed it down 150rpm. So the engine won't be permitted to make over I believe 3200rpm while building boost then when the brakes are released we are not just burning tires and losing traction upon launch and thus getting a better 1/4 mile time.

The second RACE FUEL switch is for the 104 octane tune. All the 91 octane is drained and we refill with 104. Once the switch is flipped there is then a 104 fuel race tune preloaded to take advantage of the higher octane fuel. If I was to have the race tune on and run 91 octane I would pop my motor by leaning out... We are around 430 whp on 91 and 530 on 104.......

Thanks everyone for your comments, it might have not been the ultimate solution, and yet I needed to get something done. Wanted your opinions as to what you thought about it's looks. Trying to get ready for the car show season, Your the first to see this setup....
