Default 2-Step ***** - assistance

The MSD 2-Step was so easy to install, omg... But now I just need clarification of what the ***** do. I figure 1 is for Rev limit but unsure exactly what the best setup is for it. All help is welcome!

so, lets say, if your stalled at 3800 rpm would you wanna set the 2step to around 3600 or right before it starts pushing through the brakes???

Yes. And I am assuming you mean the foot brake as you are not supposed to be able push thru a transbrake (even though I can push thru mine).

Has anybody had any bad experiences with these? I like the fact they are cheaper and seem way easy to install compared to the LPE version. Is there less adjustable points with this one or something?

I know it is super simple for many people but I would like to see how you have it so you can revv the engine higher than the 2-step when you want it (like in the burnout box). I only ask because I haven't gotten my hands on one yet to know the "how to" part of it
