Default 2 Step Launch Control?

I saw some videos online of supras and evos revving at a stand still and their tailpipes are shooting flames and explosionsand just sounding like high calibur guns going off. effing bada$$. These videos say they have 2 step launch control rev limiter by MSD. I understand that this 2 step gives you two rev limits. my auto 05 V6 stang revs to 4k in neutral and park. it gets just up to the red area when in gear. when i hold the pedal all the way down in neutral or park, it is very very quiet.how do i get it to go"BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG" like the cars in the videos? is it more than just the 2 step doing that? if i get a diablosport or xcal 2/3 tuner, can it do the same thing as a 2step?

Thanks for bearing with my stupidity and ignorance with cars.

P.S. went to my first drag race today and it just happened to be mustang day. saw some 8 seconds and i think two 6 second runs.

Those little ricer cars are built to tach high and your car is'nt. I would'nt be reving a stock motor as you described or you may hear a final "bang" . Your rev limiter is their for a good reason and should'nt be eliminated or raised unless your built for it.

Fire out of the tailpipe is an indication of a BADLY tuned car [:@]unless the guy has a flamethrower kit (injecting fuel into the exhaust & lighting it)

Don't believe all that stupid crap on movies like Fast & Furious where they have color matching flames for each car LOL expecially when they hit the naaawwwwzzz & fire belches out the tailpipe.

You'll oftensee REAL race cars belch fire out of the exhaust because they're running open pipe (no muffler) AND burning lots of fuel.

nifty trick...but DO NOT TRY IT WITH YOUR CAR!

We (my father (desil mechanic), uncle (anything mechanic/engineer),a family friend (engineer), and i(dumb kid)) spliced a switch into a plug-wire on our 79 Ramcharger. The switch disabled the plug in the 3rd(i think..figured by some equation with the firing order) cyl. and sparked a plug we installed at the tip of the exhaust. The result...a 15+ foot flame out the single side exhaust.
