Default Master Kill Switch

I'm installing a 6 pole master kill switch in my 2004 Z06, I'm having trouble figuring out what fuse or relay I need to splice into to kill power to the ecu, I tried the Powertrain Control Module fuse but that doesn't work. Any input would be appreciated.

Why are you installing a kill switch ??…not a good idea to be splicing in wires especially the PCM !!…FYI, the PCM has an ignition feed and a battery feed…there are 2 fuses !!

Will you be relocating the battery as well? The positive battery cable splits, one cable goes to the starter, and the other to the underhood fuse box. I would install an additional terminal block to facilitate the use of ring terminals....no splicing. Disconnecting the battery from the starter and underhood fuse box will kill the whole car.
