Its probably loading up on fuel and backfiring because the box cuts the spark.

That's what I have read anyway

Do you mean its backfiring after you've had the 2 step engaged and let off of the button? Or when you have the 2 step engaged it backfires while you still have it engaged? Bc its normal if it backfires while you're on the 2 step bc it's a spark cut system so fuel is still flowing and then when spark comes back it ignites the excess fuel, causing backfire. But if it's doing it after you've disengaged the 2 step, there's a problem. What mods do you have? Im on my phone so can't see sigs.

Try going up or down 100 rpms. It can make a huge difference
How the car sounds with just a 100 rpm difference.
