Do you need a Transbrake with a 2 step?

Yes, you can use a 2-Step to help build boost, but there’s more to it sometimes besides just “putting it on the 2-Step.” Often times it takes some testing to see what RPM, igniting timing, fueling, etc., it takes to make it work well and build boost.

Can you use 2 step with a foot brake?

Registered. you can either use dual line locks and hook the button up to them or just put a button on your brake pedal. go to msd’s web site to see how to wire a button on the pedal so that the 2 step doesnt come on at the finish line when your stopping.

How does a 2 step work with a trans brake?

Trans brake allows a better launch without relying on your brakes to hold the car. Some cars can hold 3psi, some can hold 10psi. The trans brake allows you to launch at max rpm without the suspension being loaded. The 2 step makes the launch consistent and allows you to fine tune the launch.

How does a 2 step build boost?

Two-step works off of your speed sensor so it knows when you’re moving and when you’re not. When you’re not moving and the clutch is depressed, the motor will be able to rev and hold at a lower set value. This puts load on the engine and if you’re running a turbo setup will also build a few pounds of boost.

Who invented the Transbrake?

Just found out at Indy that Steve Griner had passed away last year. Steve was the inventor of the trans brake, lock up convertor, and first to produce a billet valve body,plus many other racing transmission innovations.

What RPM should I leave on transbrake?

Re: Transbrake launch rpm? Anywhere between 3500 and 4500 with a converter that would “flash” to between 6700-7000 depending on air. Car would always 60′ about the same whether it was 3500 or 4500. Just a lot more violent the higher you leave on the chip.

Why does 2 step backfire?

An aftermarket two step utilizes an ignition cut rather than a fuel cut, so fuel flow continues resulting in excess fuel in the system. When the ignition comes back on, backfire occurs in the system resulting in a loud pop with flames shooting out of the tailpipe (depending on the amount of excess fuel).

What RPM should you launch at?

Registered. 5400 seems to be the sweet spot… But always adjustable to adapt, and make sure traction control is off.

What RPM should I launch my drag car at?

Start around 2,000RPM and work your way up from there. If you launch at 2,000 and it hooks well and bogs down a little, go up to 2500RPM. Basically you want to launch as high as you can while still hooking up without too much wheelspin. Also, don’t drop the clutch.
