yea i have a 2 step and never use it. it just basically allows u to launch ur car at a certain rpm at full throttle bc as long as the speedo reads 0, that particular rev limit will engauge. u only really need it at the track. otherwise ull have to have 2 different 2 steps for the street and track (bc ull hook different at the track).

n +1 on the ectune. much better than crome from what i hear.

ectune launch control is pretty neat, but its the kinda thing, if you buy cable and theres a channel you don't watch, you have it for whenever you want it, but if you don't use it it has no bearing on anything

if you are getting tuned, you can set it and if you use it you use it, if you don't you don't

no, not really, its pretty much you mashing the gas at a standstill and the ECU cutting ignition at a certain RPM so when you dump the clutch you are at WOT already, and not at a high RPM to just constantly spin the wheels

pretty much like you holding your RPMs at say 4K and then dumping the clutch and flooring the gas, except it does it for you

thats it in a nutshell eh?
