It's a transbrake button I wired to my 2 step. I used to use a toggle switch. So basically you just hold the button, clutch in and rev till the 2 step comes on (3100 rpms), let off the button and it disengages. But yes 5 speed swapped, T5, now a tko trans.

So whats the point in having a 2 step on a stick shift car when you just clutch in and hold the throttle where you want it? At the track, youll be clutched in with your hand on the button and when it goes green youve got to dump the clutch, drop the button, and reach for the shifter before you get through first gear.

Always wanted one so I tossed one in. As soon as I launch I drop the button so I'm not too worried about grabbing the shifter before I run outta gear. I didn't like the toggle switch setup, wasn't my cup of tea.

Well fcuk me the car just did not want to be tracked today. Almost positive the fuel pump crapped out. I was able to pop the clutch once or twice when it cut out at 20ish mph. Never ran again. Shoulder surgery tomorrow so this things gonna sit for awhile anyways so, eventually I'll figure it out. Strapped it to the S10 and rolled 5 miles home.

I want to go faster... Car made just power last year. Can't decide, turbo? I know I'd need a 340 lph fuel pump, arp head studs, probably 60lb injectors, boost gauge, wideband, 31 spline rear etc. Thoughts? Would I need to mess with my heads? I run Trickflow twisted wedge 170s.
