Default will a 2 step help me out?

My setup is a 5.3L with a midmount on3 76mm on e85. Using a 3200 Circle D stall. Im finally starting to get my suspension together so i can hook up out of the hole, caltracs going on this week. setup spools up pretty damn good but will I benefit from a 2 step? Been thinking about ordering a LNC-003

Are you able to foot brake the car to WOT without pushing thru your brakes? If not then yes it may help depending on how high you can actually stall it up before pushing thru brakes.

Ron, pm me when you get it up an running and want to play around on Woodward. I'd love to see your setup. My kid is approaching 15 yrs old and want to build something like your's. 4.8 ls swap, then turbo later.

It helped, but he third gear mod helped much more. I can go to 15 psi without pushing between the two.
