CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Your experience foot brake vs. 2 step regarding ET

I'm finding out little by little with experimentation, and it gets back a little to what some of you hinted around to, the quadrajet does not like "rich" fuel mixture when leaving on the mat with the 2 step activated by the brake. It will sit on the starting line and hold the RPMS but when you let go the "rich" will usually make it leave terribly, even though it will run great with the same carb setup when running with the footbrake only.
MAKING THE 2 STEP WORK WITH THE QJET IS A CHALLENGE in order to get it to perform at its best especially on a stocker that doesn't have a transbrake and has to leave at much lower RPMS......by what I am seeing testing the 2 step requires leaner setup to run at least reasonably well.
Does anyone else have similar findings ????
