If you are using a TB without a 2-step, you will be launching at the converters flash stall rpm. Most cars can't hook when running a high stall converter without using a 2-step to lower the launch rpm. The 2-step also allows you the ability to adjust your reaction times for bracket or index racing. If you can hook leaving off the TB now and don't race competitively where reaction time is a concern, then you have nothing to gain by using a 2-step.

You can raise or lower the 2 step launch rpm to get you closer or further away from going red. An example would be, lets say you are launching off the TB with the 2 step rpm set at 4200 rpm and you are just barely going red. You can lower the 2 step rpm down to lets say 4000 rpm to get you going low teens and green. On the other hand, if you were launching at 3000rpm and cutting .050 lights, you could raise the 2 step rpms to lets say 3800 rpm and get closer to the .010 -.020 range. Every car is different, but the the higher the launch rpm, the quicker the car will react provided the car will hook.
