2-step rev limiter quit working on mail-in flash??

I haven't been using it too much lately, but my 2-step only holds for a second and then it shoots to the 8000 rpm rev limiter, which I'm not too happy about doing with the 280 cams w/o an upgraded valvetrain. I'm not letting off the clutch and the gas is on the floor in 1st gear just like it needs to be. What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't work right. All I have done since the flash is 280 cams and throttle body shaft seals which made the 2-step hold 12-13 psi instead of the 7 psi it used to hold. Anyone else have this problem?

you must be rolling forward slightly. you have to be at a DEAD stop for the 2 step to activate. it won't just "quit working."

That honestly might be the problem, I think I may be rolling backwards. I'll give it a try the next time I drive.

The factory two step is not MSD drag racing quality

The must be 100% stopped issue can be bothersome

I am working to find that parametere in the stock hex file and raise it up a bit - I have no time frame on these type of projects as its very tedious and takes load of time

I've never had any problems with it at the track. I've just never been to the track with the Dynoflash tuned for the set up I'm running.

So okevolutionVIII, have you gone out and pulled the E-Brake and floored it at a stop yet to see if it was a rolling issue?!? Curious to see what the problem was.
