I had a 2 step just waiting to get it back. I know I can build boost on the trans break with out it but it is un controled and I will just blow the tires off.

I'm trying to get a friend to do that setup but he keeps thinking he needs a 402 or a iron block to make it happen.

I wouldn't due anything bigger than a 370 with this turbo. I will also note that I think this things would be too laggy for a M6 car. I don't mind this thing being laggy on the street helps with traction but man does it come in had when it hits boost.

Man I want a MWC 9"!!! How does the spool drive on the street namely in reverse?

How you like the M&H's? I love my hoosiers, I am trying out different brands than the more common mickey t's like the hoosier and maybe the M&H one day.

If you do build boost on the trans brake and your just out for test and tune screw the r/t and watch the boost gauge. When it gets to the boost level you want let off the damn button!

Spool I don't notice unless making hard and tight turns namely in parking lots. If you run the spool and a bias ply tire you can barely tell it is there.

The M&H tires aren't bad. they are lighter than the MT's some guys really like them. I got them from a buddy and they only had 2 passes on them. Not sure if I will just get a MT or a M&H again next. I think I have enough tire to last the rest of the year. so I will need new ones for next season.

I know I can sit and wait however aparently I waited to long for the track one time and they I made a pass and got no time.

I did sit longer on my second pass of the night saw about 4-5psi and just spun. I still need a little suspension work and a better track as it just spun.

The hoosiers are the best drag radial out there, but they don't last very long. They are less prone to tire shake than the Mickey's are. I've gotten into some nasty shake with my Mickey's, felt like it was going to rattle my teeth out of my head and felt like my entire car was going to rattle apart, haha. My next set of drag radials when my mickey's are dead will be the hoosiers.

Yep trans brake just not up on it very hard. Car has more in it. In good news my new 2 step with some updated/proto type internals is on its way back to me. Hoping to be back out for some testing in week or 2

what did they find wrong with the two step? were they able to duplicate the problems you were having with it?
