I have the DIS-6 from MSD that has the 2-step built in. I will say that it sound really cool when you hit it. But IMO it is useless cause you are building bost and as soon as you dump the clutch it is a burnout. I set mine to 7k the other day that ---- is loud and it brings all the bitches!But I cant use it even with LSD and my Azenas it is a burnout unless you have it set super low (but then what is the point.) But the one good thing that I do like is that I can do full throttle shifts. I have my two step hooked up to the clutch switch so when I put the clutch in it hits the 2 step when applying gas.

I find my 2-step limiter very useful, the trick is just to set the clutch switch right. I tend to set it so that it cuts out as soon as I push the pedal down 1cm. That way, when I launch I can use the limiter to keep the wheelspin down. I let the limiter keep the engine down while I slip the clutch a little and spin the wheels a little, then when I have traction I release the switch.

I never put my launch control to use on my msd box in racing terms. However, I would go to gas stations and use the launch control under the overhangs and just floor the car so it would dump so much fuel that it would backfire like you never heard

I didnt try to launch off that not even a stock D15 could keep traction off of that. I just put it to that cause that ---- sounds wicked with all the backfiring and ----. The highest I have launched off of the 2 step was 3500 and it was still just spinning so in other words my 2 step is for show and slicks so I can snap them axles. And as for slipping in the clutch to keep traction is not ppossible due to the clutch setup in my car it is very hard to ride or slip the clutch.
