MSD > Lingenfelter 2 step, just do some research, lots of lingenfelter issues. The rpm limit thing is a non issue as already stated. It prevents reactivating inbetween shifts on a manual car.

My Lingenfelter just crapped the bed so I bought a MSD last night.
I just read the instructions and this whole rpm must drop 1/3rd lower then the set point to activate has me concerned. I like to build boost on the footbrake against the converter as I roll into the beams, then I have the 2 step activate through the t-brake. Does this mean the RPM's have to be under 2500 for it to activate a 3700rpm limiter? If so I am screwed with this unit as I footbrake it much higher then that.

It was an LNC-001 so I doubt it is still under warranty! The unit worked fine last time I parked the car. Went out to start it and it'd just crank crank crank. I noticed the lights on the unit were both on and very very dim. I bypassed it and the car started right up. Tried cleaning the pins and making sure no wires were crushed or broken, but everything looks perfect. Plugged the MSD in and all is well.

So I finally got time to play around with the 2 step a bit. At 4500 rpm it makes 15psi, which I'm guessing is way too much. At 3500 rpm, it made 9-10 psi within a few seconds. My question is, what are you guys leaving on boost wise? I run 325 MTs, and the suspension setup to make them hook. It's been 1.3 60' on the footbrake back when I ran the D1. I know I'll have to take it to the track to fine tune it, but I want a good jumping off point.

Just to update, the MSD works fine out of the box building boost on the foot brake then activating it with the tbrake. It'll activate even if you are above the 1/3rd rpm threshold, it just won't reactivate it unless you drop below that threshold.
