Here is a unit that includes a bypass on a solenoid. You could run that with a manual switch, or set it up a relay to kick the bypass on based on a vehicle speed. Myself, I would run it off the e-brake switch with a delay, since I use that for the launch.

I'm not sure it's necessary, but I would definitely be interested in trying one.
I bet you could rip a 1.6 - 60’ with one installed on your set up almost every time once you get it dialed in. I got a great game plan on setting one up really easy to for the mechanicals. Your idea on using the ebrake knowing how you launch would definitely work perfect for you as a on off first gear launch as wired to this type of device. I got 2 fittings ordered that I’m waiting to get here to be sure they are what I’m hoping are size wise to make a quick connect , cut then flare to -3AN from our stock lines hard sections so a clutch launch controller can be easily put on. I’m almost thinking of a steering wheel switch or a shifter switch myself to make it work for me. I’m not sure I could get use to launching with the ebrake like you do but may have to start giving that routine some practice since it definitely has good benefits using that style launch method like you do. I like that these devices can help from hard shock on the drivetrain component etc. plus it will perfectly slip the clutch the same every time once dialed in. Looks like I’ll soon have 8 months of winter to figure out how to possibly get it wired to say the ECU.. lol
