You def need a little bit of stall speed & a 2 step would get you some boost. Rear mounts need a little help in that area. I would read some of zombie's posts on the subject.

On autos, the size of the stall is dependent on the cam size. What size cam do you have?

Tune can play a big factor especially with a MAF. If it is only running 17* of timing and a 11.5:1 AFR before it starts making boost it will be a sled till the charger lights up.
