i think when a car is two-stepping, it sounds like shit

high 1.5 60's.

Just gotta find the right RPM, and timing adjustment.

Dont even bother with the switch on the EMU, just use the vs pulses. Start off around 10 pulses, that should be around 12-15 feet that you can slip the clutch before the rev limiter goes high.

4500K, pull 10 deg, then test it and see if you can build enough boost.

I 2step down low, but I also have a carbon carbon that i can slip the bejesus out of.

I have mine set at 5000rpm (fuel cut only though), I found full throttle shifting using the same rev limit worked very well also; seems less stress to the tranny.

Something IS missing.
The EMU is pulling spark to make it miss.
Kinda the whole point.

get the aem. After you add a timing controller, fuel controller, two step, etc., you have a bunch of boxes, tons of taps and splices into everything. Keep it clean and and keep it centralized and just get a better controller. I am saving all of you a ton of time and energy because I already went thru all the piggys and ejected all that crap for a better solution. I might not have saved alot of money, but what I have is much better then what I left behind.

and for those of us that want to still be able to pass emissions? which requires a stock ecu be in place? i don't mean to be argumentative, just throwing it out there. the emanage ultimate has a 2-step in it.

I agree with Gray Haze. Don't use the switch to 2 step. It is more of a headache than it is worth. Use the method using the vs pulses as he stated.

getting the new msd digital 6al2 here. has a built in 2 step and it's all dials, so you don't have to worry about getting a 6al, 2 step box, and misc pills and wiring running all over the place. just sticking the 6al2 in the glove box and forgetting about it. should build mucho boost off the line.

Wrong box - you need DIS4 or DIS4Plus.
