  • 2-step launch control

    Mainly pertaining to those with turbos.. who all is using a 2-step launch control? if so what kind, and what's your thoughts about it? I just got mine in the mail today, it's msd and plugs right into my msd ignition box =] i can't wait to try it out.

    Also, is there anybody with 2-steppin festiva videos? I'd love to see them

    I haven't had a chance to research what a 2-step launch control is, i understand what launch control is, but 2-step? do you mind explaining this one to me?

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

      It wires into your ignition system and your clutch sensor.. you tell it what rpm you want it set at, and with the clutch pushed in it will only rev to that rpm done so by cutting either ignition or fuel (in this case ignition) causing the fuel build up in your exhaust to combust spitting flames and making pops as it shoots out..

      benefits of 2 step are you can mash the accelerator and just watch the tree drop, also you can flat foot shift and keep your turbo spooled =]

              I've seen your videos on youtube but i never recognized you had two step. you should make a video of it set at different levels and show it off.. same with sasquatch
