Default Which 2-step for no lift shifting?

I'm going to be purchasing a 2-step soon and I'm looking at the LPE LNC-003 and the MSD 8733. This is going on a 6 speed car.

I plan on triggering it off of the clutch switch so that the 2-step will trigger each time I depress the clutch pedal, therefore cutting the engine's ignition for a very short period allowing faster shifts and faster clutch engagement.

I want to hold the gas pedal to the floor and never lift off the gas during the shift. Which one works the best for no-lift shifting?

I'm using the Lingenfelter, but my trans is faceplated. I was able to power shift before with the Lingenfelter for a little while but the trans didn't like it. Definitely not recommended with syncros although some people are able to get away with it.

as long as your 2 step is set below your shift point it will all do the same thing. Shifting with a 2 step is def nicer lol

I have the LPE off the clutch switch. Stock t56. It works great for launching, and shifting. I know what your saying, It takes the backlash out of the driveline when it engages so it dose shift easier. Thats if you have it set lower then what you shift at. I shift as fast as I can, most of the time I think I let off the gas 1/2 way. But after some passes at the track I get in the groove or something, Or when I'm racing some one. I can shift alot faster, one motion. But not tiring to keep the right foot down and just kick clutch and pull. Ive only had the car scanned a few times with HPT at the track and the TPS will stay 100%, but If I think about it I can't do it and miss the gear.
Somtimes it will backfire and sometime I can beat it. Like I know setting The LPE it at 6400 it will pop on shifts but 6300, 6500 and 6600 it doesn't. It dose shift alot easier if it backfires. But it really beats up the muffler, Mine is louder form it for sure. I think I put a little presser on the shifter at the ends of the gear, and when you kick the clutch if it backfires. Its like it wants to go into gear by itself, like you have a air shifter if you know what I'm talking about? With the LPE I think thats in the software for how its set, Like it always starts with the same cly, or somthing? So how many coils it turns off and how it skips clys. Don't know id the MSD is like that?

What kind of gains are you guys seeing when using it to aid in shifting? Not just launching.

I heard that it will shift at WOT as if you were rowing through the gears with the car off.

The 2 step will take the load off of the trans during WOT shifting because it "kills" the motor until it is at the set RPM. It isnt like shifting with the car off, but its alot easier and closer to it than normal shifting

The msd 8733 will not work for want you want. Copied straight from the instruction manual.....

The LS 2-Step has a built-in rpm drop circuit that prevents the low rpm limit from activating during gear shifts (when connected through the clutch switch). In order for the limit to activate, it must see an rpm drop of more than 1/3 the set amount. For example, if the limit is set at 3,000 rpm, the limiter will not activate unless it sees a 1,000 rpm drop.

My MSD worked for me. I have it set at 5700 and i was shifting at 6800 and it was working when i was shifting.

LPE will be the one I get, when it comes time. Gotta remove the cats at the same time as I do not want to blow them out anytime soon....

LPE FTW. That is a good system. I like the way they have it designed. I have read only once where someone has had a problem with it. LPN took it back and fixed it.

I wired a switch in the console that connects when the car is in 1st gear only. So My 2-step switch must be on along with the car being in 1st gear to work. As soon as I shift it shuts the two step off. No worry's about the two step activating while on the spray.

Anybody care to throw up a link to a sponsor that carries the LPE? I've been on the fence, MSD vs. Lingenfelter. I thought the first run of Lingenfelters were bad, so everybody jumped on the MSD bangwagon, now things are fixed with LPE. Thanks.

I got mine direct from LPE. They recently upgraded the logic in their 2-steps and they're supposed to be even better now.
