little more info, ign is hooked into power supply to cdi, ( red in four pin plug ) gnd is conected to a ground wire, out is hooked to the pink wire in the 6 pin plug on cdi, was hooked up with nothing obstructing the switch if that makes sense ( nothing in the line of the IR beam)

yeah thats restrictor unit from restricted clocks. That big black bit would normally have a tag that passes through it when the clocks reach 180km. Without that tag it is effectively a derestrictor because the tag isnt present. So your CDI will never be told that its reached 180km and allow you to rev through to your hearts content :)
