A burnt brake light?
The second guess would be a rev limiter.
2step?
Alarm with Bypass anti theft switch?
ding ding ding. We have a winner! I put an MSD 6AL-2 box in my car. Been wanting to get an ignition box with a rev limiter for awhile, so I figured I might as well get one with 2-step as well.Quote:

It's launch control. I press in the clutch, tap that button, and then put the accelerator to the floor. All I have to do to launch then is engage the clutch.Quote:

Then releasing the clutch while your car is still revving high or what?
Kind of. I have the clutch pedal in, but instead of having to hold the throttle at the right rpm I get to just press the throttle all the way to the floor, and have it stick at the optimal launch rpm until I release the clutch.Quote:

in simple words would your carbed car have a different "optimal launch rpm" to my injected car?
yes, it's different for every car. especially if you have a big cam like me. The two step is adjustable with a rotary dial on the box, just like the overrev limiter is.Quote:

winrar!!
It drops spark to the cylinders, but it alternates cylinders to keep from flooding them.Quote:

yeah. I could definitely do that. I'll see about taking some pictures and getting something put up.Quote:
