That seems like a neat program--I'll have to tinker with it when I have some more time. Thanks for the tip. The best part is that it's free!

I would be very interested to know more about your low mount alternator setup.

Basically, my kill switch interrupts the power supply to the sensors in the distributor. When you interrupt the power, the sensors stop sending information to the ECU, so the ECU thinks the engine is turning 0 RPM and immediately cuts both spark and fuel.
I wired up a normally closed relay in line with that power supply. The wire you want to interrupt is the one going to pin B14 in the ECU--it's a red wire. I then ran a switch into the cabin (and mounted it on the shifter) that when depressed grounds the relay and opens the circuit.
If you have more questions about how I wired it, just let me know.
The kill switch lets you turn off the car without having to take your hand off the shifter. It also gives you better data, since the MPG gauge (and other electronics) stay on the whole time. A quick bump on the clutch (if you're moving) gets everything going again.
I've driven several people in my cars who had no idea that I was EOC-ing until I told them.
