Default Boost Problem on launch

i finnaly got the new set up to the track last night. very hot and humid, ran a best of 7.98 @ 96mph with a 2.0 60ft 1/8 mile. the problem im having is getting car to come into boost off the line, i tried brake boosting on launch, nothing helped the 60ft times. im not even braking traction on launch. i have the stock exhaust manifolds. the new set up is HKE forged 347, patriot stage 2 heads, ls6 intake STS at 9psi. pulls very hard after about 30 ft. any ideas from you STS guys who are getting good 60ft times would be helpful.

1. 2 step

2. Converter

3. Transbrake if you want to get extreme.

have a 3000 stall , i have been reading up on the two step , but there are STS cars on this board with good times not on a two step , just hoping for a little crumb to help me jump out the hole the car has low 7 potential but not with 2.0 60s. i wish i had a 1/4 mile track to run it on.
