Default 6speed guys..how do you activate your launch controller?
Just wondering how you guys activate your 2steps. Right now I have mine activated using the clutch switch..but it doesnt seem like it will work well because theres some dead time between the unit switching off and actual clutch engagement...Trying to see how I can make this thing work and work correctly so I can focus on launching the car not feathering pedals.

I used a tether push button, that way I could bring my clutch up to right under the engagement point to soften the hit and just let go of the button/tether when I let up on the clutch and it fly out of the way.

I had mine on the bottom clutch switch with no issue or delay, but I am using a LPE 2-step.

did you try it on the top switch so it kills the 2step at full pedal release?

Yeah you just have more control over it when it's on a switch, I tried the lower/upper switch off the clutch but I didn't like it. This is what I still use even with my TH400 now for the brake.

Thats not the problem..the problem is it releases before the clutch grabs so it will hold steady and as soon as I let off the clutch the rpms shoot right to redline.
