Yes but what happens when your passenger pushes in the cigarette lighter for you? How would the resistance in the cigarette lighter affect the operation of the relay?
Why not put the lighter connection in line before the micro switch? Then the micro switch will determine when the relay gets activated by the throttle being in the WOT position and the push button will determine when there is power to the micro switch.

I know what your talking about.. I sorta did the same thing, I have a 99 so I could use the switch and I did. I decided I wanted a button though because right now I dont have a shift kit and dont wanna be sprayin through the shifts. So I had a button in my shop just the right size to hold in my hand or put in a small c-clip type holder and slid it over the steering wheel. I unhooked the wire fron the activation switch running to the WOT switch wired in the button inbetween (but put ends that plug up to each side of the switch so it could be unhooked) when I dont use it I put the button in the glovebox and roll the wires up and stick them in the fuse pannel.
