I am considering getting one, but i dont know how much i would benefit from it? Anyone in here running a similar setup as me and have a 2 step? My car runs 9.7x-9.8x... Will i incurr any viable results or would this not benefit me much if i put one in?

Hard to tell really, if you have a trans brake they are nice to have. If not the converter will stall higher on the brake since you will be building boost WOT on the starting line. Sometimes the car will leave harder if you set the two step down around 3500-4500, plus it can help if you are having traction problems. Its another tool too eek out a possible tenth but if you have the right converter and a good tune you wont pick a ton..

I havent experimented with mine yet but I have had them on plenty of other cars with mixed results.

It helps turbo cars because it dumps raw fuel into the exhaust, which explodes and helps spool the turbo quicker. I'm not sure how much it would benefit a supercharged car besides giving you a consistent launch RPM, but I'd imagine the trans brake is doing that.
