I'm planning to race on 10.14.06 at RSD GLD and hope to work the ET down. I was perusing the log last night and the car launched on 0 boost, and saw boost around half track. I'm hoping to try to launch on around 8psi. Car was seeing 8psi by 4700. Not sure I can assume that the boost I was seeing at certain rpms is indicative of what it would look like off the 2step... Should be completely different. So I will put the 2step at 4200 and see what it does.

you could always borrow someone's turbo diesel pickup to practice with. Same concept, you have to stand on the brakes and spool it up as high as possible, then take off. I managed a 2.10 60' last night in my pickup
