Default What is a 2 step

I was in school today and me and sum friends were standin around in shop talkin about local racers. And one of them said that one of the guys has a 2 step on his car. So me being to proud to ask what it was didn't ask b/c i no some stuff when it comes to honda's. So could someone explain to me what a 2 step is?

two-step is for mostly drag racers. when they are on the line, they are able to step on the gas all the way and the two step will rev to whatever rpm you set it at, but no further. when you release the clutch and take off in first gear, the two-step is disengaged.

Here is a good definition for ya..
A two-step is an electrical ignition device that will "cut out" cylinders at random, after the engine rpm tries to exceed a certain point. This is basically a rev-limiter. The driver can set the low-side rpm of the two-step to be his launch rpm. With this, the driver can activate the two-step, and press the gas to the floor without over-revving the engine. You can recognize a two-step by the uneven Pop-Pop-Pop of the motor. Release the two-step, and the motor is unleashed, the throttle already wide open.
