What are rpms are you able to launch with them? The 2 step lets you launch at full boost doesn't it?

I could launch at 5 grand when it was hot out and about 4ish when it was cool. I think I read that the 2 step will build boost. The thing to remember on slicks is to watch your tach in first gear. It comes up so fast I often would hit redline in first. I think If i could have avoided redline on the 1/2 shift and been able to hit that WOT i'd have ran mid 11s. Your gonna love that car on slicks!!!

Sounds like a blast. Did you ever have the WOT box hooked up? I wonder if it's safe to use the NLS feature on this power level.

It's all timing based. so it will work at any power level. The box is capable of controlling (Killing) ignition from 25 milliseconds to 700 milliseconds in 25 millisecond increments. I never got to try the box out before I sold it but I was hoping for big things.

Right where they added the new"ish" stoplights? If it's that place I was there a few weeks ago.
