I have one but will be activating it and running it with the barke on my TH400. I am also FI. I don't reall see a benefit being NA or nitrous.

Maybe I'm not thinking right but I don't see how a 2 step could have any use at all on a car without a brake.

used on FI setups to build a certain boost level. Often used without a brake but more common on manual cars.

I activate mine threw the trans brake th 400 tranny.2 step is good for all types of set up's give a set rpm you want to leave at works for n/a cars to.I set it right below my stall speed.All you need is a momntery switch to activate your msd 2 step will give you better lauches will be able to dial the car in alot easier.Msd's 2 step works great easy hook up

I did a bunch of research on this cause i have a msd 2 step and 6al in my 4l60e car. I recently found out that msd makes an adjustable rpm pill from 1000-3000
(http://speed-eng.com/store/msd-low-r...1a20b6d3ae8e2f)

my plan is to mount the 2 step in the vehicle (probably below the hatch release) and extend the wires on the connector that goes from the 2 step to the 6al following msd's tech instructions.

The reason i want to mount it in vehicle is so that i can adjust the 2 step on the fly depending on track conditions
