Default Engine Kill Switch

Need some help with my 2002 C5 Z06 electrical system.

I am installing a Cartek GT battery Isolator in my mostly tracked C5 corvette. In the fuse panel under the hood in front of the battery i am looking for any circuits that will kill the engine and fuel to the motor. Fuses like Ignition, fuel pump, ECU that when switched will kill the motor. These fuses combined can not draw more than 30 amps when running. Once the emergency kill switch is pushed it will kill power to these combined circuits and kill the car.

I currently have the entire fuse panel switched which works fine unless you open both power windows at the same time or apparently when the ABS system engages that panel draws more than 30 AMPS and puts the electronic switch into overload protection and kills the car (even when in the middle of corner on track).

My thoughts are that I should be able to remove only the fuses required to kill the car and tap the load side through the electronic switch.

Any help would be appreciated.
