Default BOOST + 2 Step

I was wondering how much boost do you guys have when your on the 2 step?
We were having problems with ducs car launching cause it didnt have that much boost. any ideas what we could do to get more boost off the line? the help would be alsome. We were pitted next to JJ olsen and he said that he was getting 15 psi of boost off the 2 step. we are only getting 3-4 pounds.

Take timing away at lauch, then boost will come up.

We have been between 4 and 12 psi of boost, all adjusted through timing. Is there a stand alone on the car?

Im supercharged (my car is anyway) so the 2step basically gives me full boost at launch.

unfortunately putting a higher RPM chip in doesn't raise the boost levels, it will just help from bogging.

Personally if you dont have strong driveline parts, I would launch with more RPM and less boost.

My 2 cents

I believe MSD does, but Im not sure. We use the F.A.S.T. system to do it.

Im also running FAST system, how exactly do yall guys do it?

Im launching around 6k rpm and building about 7psi off the line, but im not using FAST to do it. Im running an MSD digital 7 programable and it allows me to retard up to 20 deg. of timing with it. i have it set to 15 deg. of retard, but how should i set my FAST timing along with the MSD?
