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.
Yeah, Ryan Woon's 6-speed took that 8.75 TT Viper out about 2 months ago with a 8.62. Drive a Supra on the track and then you will see. I don't know, I have never driven one, but when you have a bunch of big drag racers writing these things, you kind of have to believe them.
I don't see how setting it on the box will take you were you want? A 2-step is set at a certain RPM to have your boost built and ready to go at a certain place where you want.
