Thanks.

To answer the questions asked at the bottom of the pic, a twisted pair is just what it says. The two wires are twisted. It is done for a erason. If I remember my basic electronics from about a million years ago, it is a common way to carry low frequency signals. "shield" means that the wires are inside a grounded metal sheath. This is done to keep outside noise from being induced onto the wire as well as keeping the wire's signal from being transmitted out to surrounding wires.

If I had to guess what would be the best way to kill the injectors, I think I would try adding a short across the crank position sensor. The CPS is just a switch any way, so shorting across it doesn't harm anything. You could simply run a shielded pair of wires to the cockpit and put a momentary switch there. I think this is a better option than putting a relay in series with the signal. That is more complicated and if your added wire fails, you are dead on the side of the road. If the short wire opens, everything keeps running.
