building boost on footbrake?
My timing is set at -10*, 2-step at 3400, and if I remember correctly it's a 150 rpm spread. I make 8-9 psi fairly quick. This is with MS3 as well.
Here's an in car video. Skip to 30 seconds.

Glad that it's working for you. I didn't play with mine a whole lot last year and this was allowing me to dip into the 1.3X 60' range so I left it. I am going to try to make a little more this year if I ever get the damn car running.
What is the majic combo on thr brake pads for foot braking. Organic all the way around, organic on back ceramic or semi on front. So another words what are you guys running, great info in the thread.
I'm running whatever pads came with my Brakemotive rotor/pad package 5 years ago. I'm not sure if they are ceramic or metallic.

AFR with Two Step Timing Retard Hi GSX and ALL, A word of caution : When the timing is retarded (- xx) you should make the fuel LESS RICH or the EGT's will become VERY HIGH melting the Pistons, EX valves, and Spark plugs.
The chance to melt a Turbine Wheel is possible.
I suggest fitting an EGT Gauge just in front of the Snail.
When the AFR is correct, you WILL make more MAP.

Ok. Thanks. How lean is to lean ? I'm right at 12.8-13.0
Re did my hotside with 2" pipe to help aid in spooling. Not ideal hotside but seems to work well. Before the most I could get was 6 psi on footbrake only change was 2" hotside and new dei titanium wrap. With a quick 2 step in driveway I was able to shoot up to 8psi at 3k fairly quick.
are you full throttle on the 2 step in the first beam or just enough throttle to activate the 2 step then you pump the brakes and once youre in the second beam you go WOT?
i tried doing that method with my car but once i tried to pump the brakes it started to spin and drag the front tires. of course i was on the street.

Mine is set up on a button on the shifter. I have to release the brake and button at the same time as well. I had trouble with it my first outing last year and would hold the 2-step button through the 60', LOL. I have it down pretty good now though.
I'm WOT on the 2-step, pump the brakes, and light the 2nd bulb. I've never had the rear tires spin on me but I have the fronts get pushed a little bit but thankfully the light turned green before it pushed me out of the beams.

Same here 2 step button on a cord and had issues myself launching and letting go of button. Lol. To add to all this chaos I build boost in 2nd gear while holding 2 step button and mashing gas and brake. Have to release 2 step, brake , and bump into 1 st gear all at once. Lol. Let the minds be blown hahahaha
