So I have the msd ignition 2 step on my car for about 20,000 miles. Rarely use it, just a couple pops at car shows but they're rare. I took it off a couple days ago because I'm dropping the car off at Chevy for transmission work and didn't want random mods being blamed for the issue. Once I took it off the car felt more responsive on the pedal so I'm wondering if the 2 step can create any input lag or it's just in my head?

why would you need an aftermarket 2-step. both the manual and automatic 6th gen has a factory launch control that uses the fuel management "2-step"

Well I would go with a lingenfelter 2 step (Lingenfelter LNC-2014 RPM Limiter Timing Retard Launch Controller GM Gen V DI Engines LT4 LTI L86 L8)
instead of MSD. At the track an aftermarket launch control is more effective then the stock launch. You can’t adjust the stock RPM for track conditions which is very important. The stock launch is better then nothing but I didn’t like it in my 2016 and switch over to the lingenfelter 2 step which was used in conjunction with retarding my nitrous. My 2016 was heavily modified. The 2 step wired together with line lock is really what you want at the track for launch.

If your just using a MSD for car shows then it’s fine plus it’s cheaper then Lingenfelter if cost is a factor.

Yea I got it mainly for car shows now but haven't used it for the track yet since my car is stock other than a CAI so the factory launch works fine now. But is it possible the wiring in the 2 step could cause throttle lag? Idk if I'm imaging the difference in throttle response now that I took it off

you’ve never used the factory launch control, i see.
