Default Can you build boost off the line with a 2-step?

Ran my truck at the track last night with the new setup and it did a best of 11.999 in this very hot and humid Texas weather. I was pretty excited about that but its still cutting 2.0 60fts lol(5200lb truck). This was with brake stalling to about 2200-2300 before it would want to push through the beams. Also on 28" MTs. If I installed a 2 step and a hydro boost, do you think I would be able to build boost off the line? I feel like if I could get these 60's down it would run 11.7-11.8's?

Id be very pleased with that time given a dogshit slow 60'

Get hydroboost, build 5-10 lbs on the tree and pull 1.6s. You'll chop off at least half a second on your quarter.

Could you foot brake it to 3000 without the 2-step and did it build any boost at all without it?

Sounds like a hydro boost and a 2-step is my next mod to get this heavy truck off the line.

I have been as high as 14psi on just hydroboost alone. That's just when I let off the brake....it would keep going.

See here is the thing. If I am not building any boost by just foot braking it and its already pushing through the brakes then adding a hydro boost would not really do anything for me then right.? I would think the converter is whats causing it to push through the brake and not lack a vacuum since there is not boost yet. Just my idea though.
