Foot brake with or without 2 step
 

I am new to the stock eliminator world. I am unsure what will work better.

Leaving the staring line with or without the use of the 2 step.
Pro and cons please both in performance and reaction time.

I have raced many stick cars, this will be the first automatic car without a transbrake.

Thanks for the help.

It depends a great deal on the style of the driver and the car he is driving.

My reaction times improved dramatically since removing the 2-step. Some people can't live without it. Honestly the only way to know is to try both methods yourself.

the two step can help or hinder,,,,if your racing a lower class car that has leaves easy working off the two step may help you reaction time,but on the other hand if you have a spot on the bottom bulb where you are constistant with just foot braking and you are good there ,,be carefull you might find yourself going red, if you two step off the brake pedal, its easy to let off a loaded brake pedal that it is to plant the right foot ,,test to see ,,the only reason i use it ,is for the stock carb is not consistant leaving foot braking ,,,if your combo has using a holley dp or even a q-jet keep foot braking ,,gmonde

How do you set up a 2 step with foot brake? Is there a performance advantage to using a 2 step with foot brake?

You will only find out which way is best by installing the two step and trying both ways.
No matter what anyone tells you they can only comment on their car and their driving style. You have to try for you self to know the correct answer.

Keep it simple.....footbrake till your driving style or car proves it to you that you need to spend the time effort and dough on a two step......Since your suspension hasn't been preloaded before(stick/trans brake) concentrate on getting that right first with decent 60 foot times, etc. I have done it both ways, footbraking is more adjustable and the method of choice for quite a few world champions....But until you/car prove its needed, go off the brake pressure gauge and your bored clutch foot.

Good luck, I am going the other direction soon on my favorite car.
