drizzydrake-Thanks. It will be very soon.

I'm pretty sure that if you were parked, had it in neutral with your foot off the clutch, it'll hit the 2-step limit. So its not the switch IMO. I haven't hooked up the clutch pedal switch in my Mirage yet so I can't go confirm this,sorry.

Iff you try hitting the two step without the clutch it won't work.

Also, if you aren't stopped it won't work. I.e. if you are rolling just a little bit. I think you need to be in first also but I know that you have to have the clutch in.

Yeah I know it wont work without the clutch pedal depressed. It must be in. When I was adjusting my pedal I bent the tab with the switch. When I went to hit the 2 step nothing. I almost shat myself when it went to 8k

LOL.. But I also believe the speed sensor is also incorporated. It would have to be because if you were cruising and built rpms it would two step at 6500

LOL.. So they both take part in the equation...

IIRC, you can adjust the speed to which it engages/disengages through the ecu. Like anything over 7 mph and it won't work or something like that.

Most Wanted -
Ryu-

At what RPM's does ur car drop too when you launch?

Most Wanted if you remember I'm getting a good 60', 1.64, but the car drops to 3500 rpm and is hurting my 1/8 mile. You said I need to slip it a lil more to keep the rpm's up and I'm just wondering what the most it should drop to.

and have you had any experience with the ACT HD street clutch (organic). I'm wondering how well it will hold up to slipping it?

i will be able to run it once i get back to the states from this hell hole lol. but just wanna know what times people are running with these mods. stock weight, stock clutch, just the mods i have posted up. I will most likely have a few more parts to add by the time i go to get the car tuned.
