Are you looking to kill the entire engine, just the ignition, or the fuel? Also, are you using this for competition, or are you looking for a theft deterrent?

That's pretty easy then... Just tap into the positive wire going to the fuel pump with a high-quality switch and hide it. I've done this in the past, but I prefer to use the + feed to the coil instead (no specific reason, but I don't like messing with electric fuel pumps... something about electricity and explosive fuel [:)])

Don't go with a cheap switch though, get something good with a high amperage rating. You can hide it wherever you like. e.g. under the hood, under your seat, under the dash, etc.

The whole thing shouldn't take more than an hour, even if you're obsessive compulsive (like me) with putting all wires into looms.
