I think it would be worth while, it will make it much easier to find the point where you loose traction consistently. I had a 2 step on my truck, granted I am all wheel drive but my truck produced better 60fts with less boost on the 2 step than it would with me just building boost on the brake.

Interesting. My two step slows down my truck because it makes max boost and blows the tires off no matter the RPM i set it to. Does 2.2 60'

I foot brake to 3k which Zero outs the boost gauge and it does 1.7 60's.

So now I only use it to show off and make cool noises.

2 steps are really fun if you do it from a roll on the highway...

But that has nothing to do with the 2 step and everything to do with inadequate tires or suspension.

i´ll get me one soon to see if i can improve 60´s and a big reason i need one is a bracket race, now once i turn on second stage light i have to look at my rpms, christmas tree, rpms, christmas tree and i cant always leave at the same rpm, with a 2 step i can put the pedal to the metal looking at only the christmas tree and concentrate on reaccion times

Bracket racing can be a hell of a lot of fun! It's so amazing that some guys run almost exactly right on their dial in throughout the whole night. Its a science.

What about the drum brake trucks? I have a 2-step wired in and the truck does not run yet but I'm curious to hear feedback from 04+ guys

True, Im just saying 3K two step is 12 psi. 3K foot brake is ZERO'ed out gauge.
