it will work fine to do a human relay.............just a couple things here

buy a switch that goes to nutral when you let go of it, that way a bump of the knee wont turn the grids on by accident

also remember you are the timer here so its easily overdone with ambient temp differentials

I have a temp sensor in my intake horn to monitor ram air......also works great for watching the grids work
