Your experience foot brake vs. 2 step regarding ET

Rusty Davenport · 08-04-2016, 09:00 AM

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.

.02 with two step

.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?

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

Bob: In my case no, so there really is not a fair comparison I suppose.

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