I'll be taking my car back to the track sometime in late August and now I have a trans brake and two step. Since my stall seems to "lock up" around 4100 RPM I was wondering what module I should run on my two step.

Right now I have a 3500 module in it and I have done a few launches on the street on my ET Streets and the result is I floor it on the brake and let off the button and it immediatley smokes the tires to 6600RPM, it grabs a little then I shift. I know at the track I am going to hook or at least hook much better than on the street. It is quite a spectacle leaving off the brake on the street.

My question is what is the ideal module to run or am I looking at a trial and error thing here? Do I want to run a lower RPM module to "flash" the stall or do I want to run a higher module to get closer to the lock up of the converter?

When I had my 2500 stall that locked around 3K RPM I was footbraking and hooking up really well at the track (1.59 short times). I am really hoping that the car will still hook so I can improve those 60' times.

I know I am a little ways off from going to the track but I figured I would go ahead and be prepared.

All depends. My buddies 2500 likes to be brought all the way up, and realease the break. Mine used to like a stall to 1600, then let it flash to 3500. But generally most run around 300-500 below flash. You usually don't want to go over the stall speed though. The torque multiplying factor is right at flash.Can't wait to see times and vid of that thing off the brake. Can't wait to get mine.
