I believe it was darreli's SHO ... also had that custom throttle body on it.

Was your mustang a stick?...and if you  had an automatic did you have a high stall converter?

Auto and yes I had a 3800 stall converter on it.

I tried a 2 step on my V with stock converter with horrible results, can't imagine it would be much better with the SHO.
I asked JMS if they were going to develop a transbrake for the SHO like the F150/Mustang and they said no - that would have helped a TON.

It was Darreli who had the Circle D converter in his SHO.

It didn't do jack for him. Even after retuning, his car was still .3-.4 SLOWER.

Darrell did not have the larger throttle body, it was FirstSHO Mike that had it in his.

That also didn't provide any benefits either.

It appears someone's tried it (well kind of lol), found this on YouTube...

4500 RPM will not help with stock converter...
I would imagine the second you have boost on the stock converter you're going to push through the brakes like I did.


Example of an auto on 2 step - they're having issues with the converter but basically same thing I'll be doing with my V:
! No longer available

two step = stick
high stall TQ CV = auto.

You get that cool back fire with two-step, but you're cutting the ignition to the motor and really putting stress on your bearings (And crank if not racing bearings). I don't have on my 700hp G35, but that's mainly because I don't drag it. If I did, I would (but then I'd use it at car shows and burn through bearings)

You put a high stall on these stock turbos, you're doing it wrong.
Tune + Exhaust and enjoy. If you want to launch, hit the break and gas till 2k, then let go of the brake.

EDIT: Just watched above video. Definitely do that if you're running 500+ HP on an auto. I couldn't imagine doing that though lol

Trans brake would be a better option with an automatic car.

I had a two step in my 90' when I drag raced it.  Funny part was, I was more consistent doing on my own off of feel rather than setting a specific RPM every time.

too bad they dont have a twin clutch auto like 2013+ lancer evo mr's.

Im pretty sure those can be tuned to work like a trans brake

The 600hp snowmobile I drag race has the two step....u hold the button, mash the gas wot. and when the tree comes down u let off the button. 6o foots 1.0 and does the 1/8th on 4.7 seconds on ice. a lot of fun!
