Default TwoStep Worth It?

I searched i could not really find anything. We are hooking up a TwoStep through the Emanage This week and i have went SpeedDenstiy. Just wondering if the TwoStep will help my times any, or mainly just help me from not breaking another T/C. Could Someone really explain the benifets from it. Thanks, Jared

I've found them to be something I don't like. Varying traction can make the car bog or spin. Some people find them helpful to get consistent launches. Some people find they help break parts.

Im 50/50 about it.

You will launch at a lower RPM which is good...
But I build 10lbs off the line. Which would be harder on drivetrain parts

If I set it too high I sit there and spin.

But once you get the right RPM set its very consistent.

My times didnt change at all (1.70 60')... but you almost cant mess up the launch.

I know they are awesome on Evos. Thanks for posting this so I can find out how more people like them for the 3S.

I've heard they aren't worth it on our cars because it causes far too much stress for what its worth. Honestly our cars are SUPER easy to launch as is, I've yet to cut anything other then a 1.7/1.8 when the car was running well.

2step=no lag. it's not really going to help you all that much if you want to do anything major in a drag.
