And who cares about yankin the tires. Most irs Cobras running 9's don't pull the tires. If you're on slicks and your rear can take it, fuck a two-step, set it on the box and let it rip or just rev it to where you want to leave. And a two-step doesn't build boost, a trans-brake does. I keep hearing anti-lag as if its some magic technique or some kind of gismo. If you are referring to race car guys saying that it usually has to do with better turbo design and better flowing engines is the reason big race cars hit full boost very quickly.
A 2 step does build boost, come sit in my car and watch the boost gauge.. at 3,500 rpm with a 2-step/launch control, whatever you want to call it, I build about 2-3 psi..
Yea I know what you are going to say next, 2-3 psi is nothin, it helps, but the best part is I'm at full boost practically immediately after I take off.. atleast this is in my situation/setup..
Anti-lag is a gismo I guess you could say... it requires air-lines/valves etc.. its most popular in rally cars in off throttle situations (the bang/pop noise you hear, this is anti-lag working).. it is also usefull in launching.
