60' and ET footbrake vs 2 step

I'm going to do some testing on this topic myself soon. I think it depends on how your carburetor is set up. I've 2 stepped my car since I put the new engine in it last year, and I like being able to bump in at around 2000-2200, and then mash the throttle and not worry about the launch rpm. I've also chilled my engine a few times and haven't had a hesitation, where I've heard of racers having issues getting there cars to leave off the footbrake when they are ice cold. As far as EFI cars are concerned, I drove a car that was religiously foot braked by the owner, but I decided to use the 2 step that was in the car. It was a little faster on the 2 step (.03-.04) than on the footbrake.
