Default 2-step rpm

Is there such thing as to low of an rpm to use a 2-step? I have a 3000 stall conver and can foot brake to 2000-2200 rpm.... i just dont want to use it and hurt it from being too low (kinda like not activating nitrous below 3000 rpm)

Low will not hurt anything, but you will not build much boost. Try 2200 and keep going up 200rpm at a time until you find the sweet spot.

2000-2200 is the MOST that i can foot brake lol, its time for some disc brakes to stall it higher

I just bought a 2 step. I can't wait to try it, I had trouble holding it consistently and some times would launch ~2700 and other times 3200. I expect as a minimum to have some boost and hold at least 3200.

All I hear is how great they are :>)
