No. Cruise control won't work under either 30 or 35, I forget which. If you want launch control, you'll first have to figure out how to flash the ECU to program that kind of feature into it, or go standalone.

i think its 25 but ether way cant we just mod it to not understand the mph and hold the rpms?? cause it stays on of u use it and pull it outa gear it will hit the limiter cause it trys to hold speed with no gear so i know it doesnt have to be in gear. but this has to be possible with out flash?


lol if i can use the horn button as n20 this should work 2

Because the cruise control is handled by the ECU and we don't have the ability to modify the ECU. It would also be a bad idea to modify the speed signal, as that's needed for other functions. If we had a vac controlled cruise control, it might've been possible, but with an electronic one, no.

Horn button as N2O switch would be really easy, but rather.... stupid.

+1, you have to be going a certain speed to be able to activate it.

I'm not trying to shoot you down, just being honest with you. Everything having to do with engine control is controlled by our ECU. In order to get it to do something like what you're asking, you have 3 options: find a way to reprogram the ECU (which nobody has figured out), replace the ECU (expensive), or rig up some kind of small actuator to press on the gas pedal for you, which would be way too complicated and you might as well stick with using your foot.

As for the hidden affect, find a switch at Radio Shack that looks OEM and fits into the blank spot by the cluster dimmer. Or get a foot switch, like how the brights are controlled on older Fords.

ya i dont use the horn anymore but it was fun for a fast rig up, ether way i know to do that, you would have to cancel out alot of things the pedle sensors, speed min, many others.

and i wasnt taking ur post as shooting down i was just re stateing my desire for this to work lol. so thx again, and i read the whole thing in the ecu flash stuff were are we all at on that its been quiet for like a month now??
