A valet switch controls a solenoid valve in the boost line between the manifold and the AFC housing on the pump.

That solenoid would be used to drop the boost reference signal for more fueling. This would slow the truck down a lot.

But the other side of that coin is. If you don't trust someone enough without the switch turned on. Why let them in the truck in the first place.

If you have enough fuel it doesn't slow you down a lot. I run mine in valet most of the time because it runs cleaner and it has plenty of power - and I never have to look at the pyro.

Simple toggle switch controlling the solenoid.
