basically, its a rev limiter, it has a switch you connect to say the clutch pedal, or handrake, or a button on the steering wheel etc, when the button is depressed the limiter is activated at the set revs, so you can hold the accelerator to the floor when pulling off!

Usually only a few wires, and they are easy peasy to set up.
Armtech or Omex are what i would recommend, although personally i think i would prefer the Armtech because of how it works.
My mate used to have one on his R5 GT Turbo
