So just tried to 2-step mine for the first time today and it popped up "service required" on the dash and turned my ASC off lol i turned the car off and all went back to normal. Only got the revs to about 5-5.5k and it did all that so I let off instantly so dunno if it would hold there?

I try to use shell gas seems to be pretty good. Yeah i got stage 1 mods with stage 1 tune on the AP. Don't seem to be reaching boost lately either. only about 19-20 psi max and Cobb says its supposed to be 24 psi +/- .8 psi. I read another thread where a guy was having the same thing with the service required light coming on and ASC turning itself off when he reved high in first. He never seemed to figure out what the problem was. I may try an octane booster just to be sure its at least 93 even though thats what the pump says lol thanks man

dont use octane booster. i dont work how you think it will. it WILL NOT raise octane from 91 or 92 and make it 93. it only increases in .10 increments..... search octane booster. a few have done reasearch about it.

Launching is simple.
Step 1: Stop
Step 2: Push in the clutch
Step 3: Put the car in first gear
Step 4: Let the clutch out to find where it engages and hold it just before that (it'll make it easier to slip/dump)
Step 5: Floor the gas, and hold it to the floor. You will start bouncing off the 2-step at 5000-5500rpm and build boost.
Step 6: DO NOT let off the gas pedal at ALL, slip out the clutch until you feel it grab, then let go.
Step 7: DO NOT let off of the gas pedal until you shift to 2nd gear. The gas pedal should be held to the floor from the beginning until you shift to 2nd.
Step 8: Continue shifting gears accordingly.
that's how i've always done it, and it was good enough to get me and my basically stock IX MR to 12.82 @ 107.41 with only a cat back, no tune, no other power adders, a boost leak, and a possibly slipping stock clutch. I've launched that way more times than I can count, and i'm at 161,000 miles and still going strong. I'd advise this method unless the EVO X 5 speed is somehow weaker than the IX 6 speed lol
you have to launch at the highest rpm the engine will let you to get the best time possible. EVO's actually launch best at ~6000rpm because at 5000rpm unless you get it just right, the car wants to bog. anything lower than that and you'll have to really slip the clutch to keep it from bogging which just burns the clutch up, and you leave the line slow as hell.

I do the same thing except i'll hold the car at the light with the e-brake up, and then let the clutch out a little bit more. Then right before u get the green light drop the e-brake and slide the clutch out real fast at the same time.. I'm on a 6puck clutch, I cut 1.7s 60fts. on RT-615 255/40-18s and I spin through 1st. I'm sure with better tires I could get a little better time.
