Hey, guys. Stephanie with AmericanMuscle.com here here with the MSD Launch Master 2-Step Rev Limiter for 1999 to 2010 V8 Mustangs. The MSD 2-step is going to be for the '99 to 2010 owners out there that are looking to create a consistent, reliable launch on the track, strip, or even on the street. This launch control connects to the factory coils and it works by cutting spark, not fuel, so it's a good option for anyone looking for a safe and effective launch control for their Mustang. A 2-step or a launch control or a stutter box is a simple design, but it's helpful to the performance enthusiast that wants to have more consistent performance. The 2-step will give you the ability to define your launch RPM that the device will maintain for you. This allows you to hold the car at full throttle while preparing to leave the line, so you don't have to worry about manually holding your launch RPM and watching the tree at the same time. If you have a forced induction setup, this allows you to build boost while you're waiting to leave. If you have an NA setup, this just makes it easier for you to dial in that perfect launch RPM where you have a smooth, consistent launch with maximum power and no wheel hop. And, of course, that's gonna lead to faster 60-foot times at the strip, or pushing you into the first corner faster, or hell, maybe you just want to have fun on the street. The MSD 2-step works by cutting spark, not fuel, which is what you want. It is possible to induce a 2-step situation by cutting fuel, but anyone in their right mind wouldn't do it that way. It's dangerous and it's not a good way to do it. So the device will intercept the spark signal from the ECU and it will modify it, which actually leads to a misfire to hold the car at the desired launch RPM. The MSD is easy to set launch RPMs. There are two dials where the big RPM range that moves in 100 RPM increments, so you can really set your launch RPM where the car performs the best. The other nice thing about this is that it has an LED that will show you when the launch control is active, which is not only helpful on the line but it's also helpful for the street cars that want to use this. As far as price, the 2-step from MSD is going to cost you a little over $200. So the install here is not difficult. You do have a little bit of room to determine how you want to wire this in, but the general idea is to get your direct fit harness plugged into your coil wires, mount the module, and run a ground. You need to run the wiring into the cabin and tap into the clutch switch, so you're looking at some light wiring, nothing too technical, though. Overall, this is a one-wrench install on our scale here and should take you about just an hour to complete. Wrapping things up here, the MSD Launch Master 2-Step Rev Limiter offers a great way to improve launches. It's easy to install and it works by cutting spark, not fuel, for a safer rev control.
