Would this setup work on my Evo? My trunk key hole has been shaved, but I was thinking of having it mounted where my rear license plate is.

is my radio gonna reset everytime I have to open my trunk? lol

Unfortunately, yes unless you run a wire straight to the battery. Also, don't forget that you still have the push button inside the car to open the trunk.

So the only way it kills all power is when the key is turned correct ? So if you use the popper, it won't ?

That is correct

We can make it work on an evo with a couple extra parts. Please contact us for details

Very nice! I'm interested....

But, are there different keys and locks for each switch?

I would hate to have someone w/ the same setup use thier key and break into my trunk and cut off my power and who knows what would happen...

Cool setup for sure.

However, it's not legal for NHRA.

8:4 Master Cutoff (General Regulations)
Keyed Switches Prohibited.

I talked to the guys at NHRA Div 5 before we made this. I was told as long as it locks and stays in place while you are using it, it is ok. I'm assuming you cannot have a keyed switch and leave the key on your key chain.
