Front tire pressure adjustments

Two step, could help, depends on your carb and how it works when floored, you may also want to upgrade to a brake pressure switch, instead of the brake pedal piece.

Log books should give you a clue too. Time trials versus competition etc.

Change one thing at a time.

What benefit is there to the brake pressure switch over the brake pedal switch two step? Thanks for the help in advance.

Do you use a practice tree? I found that it helped me narrow down the range of the lights I was cutting. Then I was able to zero in on when to leave.

Of course, if they eliminated reaction time, none of this would matter. :-)

At the least it would require the same brake line pressure each time you stage. Eliminates a variable.

So then you prestage bump in and check brake pressure then look at the tree and get on the two step? I don’t mean to sound synical, just want to make sure of the process and if this would help me

You can microadjust the brake pressure switch to release at a higher or lower pressure as your needs and car may like.

Everyones staging method is different, I don't look at the gauge, I listen for the two step if I am running it. My dakota fuel injected two step process is totally different than the footbrake gremlin(I don't run the pressure switch two step on it, just a gauge)

Two step is just faster for some cars/trucks. I like footbraking more.

Even better is a stick, now that is where the fun factor really comes in, lots of variables you can tweak to adjust RT, but don't ask me specifics, I'm a novice.
