2 Step Box for ss tc?

Hey guys, this is completely a curious question so please nobody jump all over me. i have a bolted and tuned ss tc. now since with the trifecta tune i have adjustable launch control and all that, is there a possible way to ditch that and do a real 2 step instead on our cars?
Again, i was just curious about this so i appreciate the help!

if you launch your car any more than 5psi, you will most likely be spinning wheels unless you got some real sticky tires

ohh i gotcha yea i looked that one up a lil while ago. if i ever do it it will only be for the sound every once in a while haha. my trifecta launch control is set at like 60% so if i had a wot/2 step box would i still be able to use the trifecta launch control also? and would the wot shifts work with that box? im a bit confused on how the two will coordinate. sorry for all the questions haha

hhaha. its all good bro. i am a lil unsure about it myself. our cars come with a factory WOT BOX. just have to be extremley fast while doing it. i suck at it. everytime i do it, it throws on a flashing CEL. lol

and our launch control wont build boost in neutral. all it does is hold RPMS at 5100 stock. a 2step box would do same thing. only if you can find a way for your car to build boost in nuetral. which is why i say on stock turbo setup is most likely not worth it.

This might be bc you are doing it while the engine is still cold. If the coolant temp is anything below 180, don't even bother.

yea if i ever do it it will strictly be for sound haha. im trifecta tuned like you so i just wasnt sure how that would work since i already have a launch control...and yea the wot shifts are really hard to hit perfect now that im tuned. if it hits the rev limiter in between a shift it just shuts the motor down and pops and cuts out so i immediately lift off the gas. i rarely ever wot shift but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt =/

well. the few times ive done it, coolant temp has always been above 180. also it was a 3rd to 4th shift. and my 3rd gear limiter is raised to 7000. and if i had dont a nls it would have been at 6900. so it would hit the limiter no matter how fast i want to do it.

so the bottom line is thw 2step isnt gud unless you turbo swap? and the wot box is dependent on your driving ability? i have one already but was advise not to put it in because my car has traction control, but the NLS in my car is headache being that i have a aftermarket clutch.

I'll have to look again, but I believe you can control the cut and resume in HPT on our cars by rpm for launch control. That would give the same effect. Its not faster, its just theres a difference in rpm between the cut and resume unlike the way launch control is set stock.
