Can I wire up a kill switch like this?
Since I have a formula and not a TA, I was thinking about buying the foglight switch which usually goes to the left of the steering wheel and running my wire from the msd box to that toggle then to the power supply. Nobody would guess a foglight switch would be the kill switch. Can I put that much power through that switch? Is this a good idea?

Use a relay. Have the switch turn on the relay. The relay can supply power to any source like ignition, starter or fuel pump.
Another place to hide a switch is inside the cigarette lighter socket. Use a push button switch. Push the lighter in to activate the switch. Only works if you're a non smoker and don't use the socket as a power source for anuthing else.

Are we looking for some sort of a hidden emergency kill theft prevention type device?
Easier: find the nuetral saftey switch wires, spice a toggle switch into them, you can mount it anywhere, and it will kill power to the starter. Sure, they can rip the coulmn apart but when it won't crank they'll likely move on to an easier car.
