That is an excellent idea!

I have considered the louver idea as well, but ROI just wasn't worth it with the setup I wanted to do.

The fuel pump cut out will be a normally closed switch that will control the ground circuit of relay so I can shut off fuel during coasting without shutting off the ignition. That will keep me from potentially locking the steering wheel by using the ignition switch and also keep my short trip data stream alive.
I would consider a fuel injector cutoff over fuel pump, unless they are on the same circuit.

Cutting the fuel pump alone would cause all the residual pressure to still be released during injector firing, this can cause overly lean firing, fuel pooling, air in the fuel system, etc... Furthermore, for correct operation upon reignition (via bump starting or clutch) the fuel system needs to be at proper PSI, meaning after fuel pump shutoff, the pump will have to re-prime the system, causing the same problems describe above, except under load, which is definitely not good.
