Rolling 2-Step Stops Working Over 25mph? Good morning gents,
Got kind of a weird one here, I wired up my MSD 2-Step on a rocker switch so I can select either the Trans-brake or my brake pedal as an activation input.
On the brake pedal the idea was to have a rolling 2-step for building boost for roll racing or rolling burnouts.
It works really, really well and will build about 4-5 lbs. of boost in first gear up to about 20-25mph but above that it doesn't seem to work which is a bummer because ideally, I'd like it to work up to at least 40-45 mph.
Is there any reason you guys can think of that the 2-step would only work at 25mph and slower?

the msd 2 step will lock itself out if you activate it with the engine above a certain rpm

So, I have to activate it at 2,000 rpm or less and then boost my way up to 40 mph I'm guessing and then hold it there?
Or raise my 2-step higher in the RPM range to get closer to 40 mph?

when i had one on my s10 it was a stick car so i just pushed the clutch in to let the engine rpm drop down enough to activate it then floored it and did my rolling fireballs

I've got a manual valve body TH400 in the car so I can't down shift, so I have to plan these types of hits anyways.
I think I'll try raising the rpm up since it's easy to do and see if I can get it closer to the 40mph target and if anything, it'll just make it easier at lower speeds.
Thank you for the help my friend, I would have never thought the answer would be in the MSD instructions lol.

efilive custom os5 has nitrous control which gives you timing and fuel modifiers with a wired input.
i set it up so on the 2 step it added a bunch of fuel and pulled a bunch of timing. run the exhaust out the front bumper and there ya go

Oh, I misread that and was thinking an aftermarket system for some reason.
I'm using HP Tuners, is there something I do can with that?
The rolling two step is killer and if I could make it spit fireballs that would be icing on the cake lol.
