Default having 2 step rpm controller helps turbo launches?

I am just wondering if having a 2step rpm controller/limiter helps turbo civics with their launches and thus, having a better ET?

I am not sure about you guys, but I feel that I have a stronger launch and spools up the turbo faster....if I am pumping the gas up and down while waiting for the green light. So, will the 2 step rpm controller will help me or it will be defeating the purpose?

Because I know that the launch controller will just stay on a specified rpm no matter how much you step on the gas, while waiting to launch.

Any comments out there?

You could still use the pump technique you are using with the two step if you set it up on a button. My friends have their buttons electrical taped onto their shift *****. The two step would just be a precaution from launching to high and spinning more than you want.

i would that think that with a FWD and turbo spooling up some big HP ON launch would just equal boiled rubber

with a two step u can be at WOT and already boosting before the green light goes off... so then when u launch ur already in boost...

this also only works if u have the proper slicks/suspension
