if you wire the two step up to a button on the steering wheel, say a momentary contact button that is on when pressed, the two step will only be active while holding the button therefore as long a your not hitting the button while going down the track it will have no effect on anything.

After the launch the 2 step does not have any more function. Your rev limiter will be the high rpm limit when you are power shifting.

MSD two step here and no problems power shifting. I wired mine to the starter safety switch, so when you power shift and just stab the clutch quick the pedal doesn't go down far enough to trigger the 2 step.
