Default Choices for launch control

I would kill for some type of an adjustable launch control right now. What are my options other than buying a standalone? I have seen one MSD module but it looks to only have two wires coming out of it, can the MSD one that sells for around 140 be installed on an OBD0 honda?

Does anyone know if the MSD setup is an add-on for another MSD product? From what it sounds like it's just a plug-in type device.

Not too sure what your aiming for either two step or not? Kens kustom chassis offers a new line lock type setup for fwds. From what I understand you engage the clutch and hold a botton down and let off the clutch pedal and the car stays staged, you let the botton go and the car goes. Im deffintly getting one.-pdang

I are you saying the clutch is engaged before you let go of the button? I'm looking for the kind where you floor it and it just rev limits until you hit 5mph or so.

The MSD dig 6 has a two step built in. Run the blue wire to a 12v source, put a momentary switch inline, adjust the lower rev limiter to your desired rpm, and voila. Hit the switch and floor the bitch.

I use the Ben Strader 2 step . Only 2 people I know that can make a 2 step not pop and sound like **** is Ben Strader and Bob Norwood. It has a "hum" to it and you can stay on it all day long. Dont ask me how they do it because I dont have a clue.

Sounds like a line lock installed on the hydraulic clutch line. It helps to setup the same launch over and over when used with a launch rev limiter.
