Will a 2step work similar to a trans brake?? My Th350 doesnt have a TB but I do have a 2step. If I set the 2step up to the the point the car doesnt push threw the brakes and optimum stall speed(lets just say 2500 rpms) it should work similar correct?

I think it would work. Just wanna have my foot all the way in gas and see who else has done it.
Some converters like leaving off idle and others like being stalled up. So depending on that is, is where I would set the 2step. Either way I would have my foot to the floor already.

Freakin sucks going from a stick to an auto and having to learn how to launch it all over again lol. I never used my 2 step without the TB...never thought about it honestly.

i had the lingenfelter lnc-003 box in my mustang at the end of last year. it is the one that has two 2-steps. i had it set up where the first one would activate on the foot brake at 3000 rpm and the second on the transbrake at 3900. that way i could foot brake the car into the beams while having it floored, then once i got into the beams grab the transbrake and let off the foot brake and then it would jump up to my launch rpm all while keeping it to the floor. this way it would be a full boost before i got into the beams for racing on a pro tree. it ended up spooling fast enough i didnt have to use it but i did try the 2-step on the foot brake and it worked fine. one thing i did figure out though, my brake lights are on a pressure switch on the front brake line in an extra port on my linelock solenoid. so when on the linelock my brake lights were on. no big deal except for the first time i tried to do a burnout my car wouldnt rev past 3k rpm until i turned off the linelock. once i figured out why it was doing that, the fix was to put a relay on it so when the linelock switch was on, it would break the signal going to the lingenfelter box so that the 3k 2-step would not kick in while i was trying to do a burnout. you wont have that problem as im sure most people still use the mechanical switch on the pedal, just thought i would share my experience.

Edit: Did you convert to an automatic brake pedal? The stick brake pedal may be too small for this.
Trans brake and 2 step are complete different
A 2 step is just a rev limiter that allows you to set it @ your desired RPM as much as your converter will allow. With out a trans brake Depending on your converter i dont see you getting enough rpm to need a 2step

I plan on a 4000+ stall and just want to have the gas pedal on the floor. Let off the brake and button and be gone. I think it should work pretty good? Car should have 650-700rwhp. Works great with my T56
I had my car setup like that at the begining of last year. MSD 6al-2 box. two step wire i ran to a toggle switch so i could turn it off for doing burnouts(didnt have a line loc) then ran it to my brake light switch. doesnt let you bring rpm ups any higher than you would normally footbrakin it but it made it nice to stage like at barely above an idle to keep staging consistant. no worries about rolling thru the beam when trying to hold rpm up after first bulb. couldnt use it because no 2steps allowed in footbrake(no/e) but any other time its nice. only thing wrong with that was since it was WOT the computer was still sending same fuel amount as if you were trying to launch and build rpm. so on a low rpm setting like 3.4k it would have to much fuel once id launch it seemed like it would take a split second to clear out before it started building rpm. my 60fts were usually 2-3hundreths slower....
It stayed right about 2-3 hundredths slower top end aswell.. and no didn't make me anymore consistent... but I've been racing footbrake for 13 yrs now so I've got staging consistently down and keepin a steady rpm. But it did not take away from tho.
