Your experience foot brake vs. 2 step regarding ET
Would anyone care to share your experience with ET gain.....not drivability......which one is faster, slower, how much difference or any other comments. This would pertain to a stock eliminator type car.

.05 quicker with a 2 step on my T-Bird.
But then it's not a V-8 nor naturally aspirated.

Larry and Alan,
When you use the 2 step is it set for the same RPM that you were footbraking to?

Re: Your experience foot brake vs. 2 step regarding ET
I use a 2 step with a button in Pro and footBrake in street when bracket racing and found that the 2 step is about 2 hundredths slower in ET but .02 faster in reaction time. This is at 3000 rpm in my car. I load the converter to 3400 to make up the difference in RT

It would be an interesting test tho to set the 2 step down lower to the point where I leave on footbraking.

Re: Your experience foot brake vs. 2 step regarding ET
All the Stock racers I have asked leave with the throttle already matted when using the two-step...I have not tried it yet. Mine is chipped at 3000 and I often hear it when staged. I have resisted trying it because it is just the opposite from what I am used to...leaving off the brake pedal instead of pushing the gas pedal.
