Possibly stupid question about a 2 step... Would there be any advantage to me installing a 2 step in my car? I'm running a blower and no T-brake. I was thinking it might make the car easier to launch. I've only used 2 steps on turbo cars previously.
Thanks!

Depending on your stall you may be able to bring it up on the 2step, but most of the time you will drive through the brakes before you can hit the target rpm.
Whats your current stall rpm? whats the target 2step?
I would look into a brake before doing a 2step, a brake for a 4l60 is i belive around 600 bucks + install, and for a th400 im guessing cheaper.
If your a 6spd, then a 2step is a no questions asked mod, its a way to hit the tires harder or softer and its also for consistancy.

so then a tbrake would be for autos and 2 step for manuals?
how wil the t brake control rpms? to not ever rev and such (i have the basic idea of it holding D and R together but dont understand how it would control the revs

You use a 2step for a car with a auto as well, with a tbrake it so you can leave at a certin rpm, and its also used to control the hit to the tire.
isnt that the same thing a 2 step dose? like hold the rev's at a certain limit?
to the OP, hopefully i'm not jacking your thread, i think we have the same questions.
to Jack, thanks so far with helping my stupid ***

Depending on load you can raise or lower it based on how loose the stall is.
A 2step is great for hitting the tires, you mash it and it will not go above that set rpm, when you release the tbrake button it will flash the converter then hit the tire.

Some cars/converters work better if the rpm is less then stall speed and it hits the rpm accelerating. Reguardless for ALMOST any type of car I believe will help, esp for consistant racing.
I dont think the 2 step alone affects the engine much really, if you use the timing retard it can be alittle harsh on the turbo, but it builds boost very quickly for racing.
