What RPM do you plan on setting the 2 step at and how long does it take you to get there now.... that's my point. For example, my 2 step is set at 3800 rpm but my converter is tight enough that it still takes 2-3 seconds to get to that area. It only aids in how much boost you are leaving with when you get to that set RPM which is why I said it's not going to help you get up on the converter any quicker, only give you a bit more boost and consistency.
If your setup right, you can use the 2 step to build boost and then flash the converter using it as a bit of a shock absorber on launch. At 3800 rpms and no 2 step I make about 1psi on the trans brake, but with the 2 step i make about 5 psi and get some flash out of the converter. Best I've ever hooked on my current setup was a 1.52 60' on a 8psi launch. 3700 rpms and 5psi gets me 1.7's usually. You have to experiment because the amount of boost you make is going to vary with rpm and sometimes it's really touchy.
I'm lacking a good susp setup and track prep to launch hard though.

I run an art carr converter and it came with the first re-stall for free. So if I need to I can send it in for an adjustment.
