This MSD 2-Step connects directly to late-model Ford Coyote 5.0L applications to produce consistent launches and quicker 60-foot times by setting an rpm limit to stage with. When activated, rpm holds steady until the green light comes on; releasing the clutch then launches the car. The launch rpm is adjusted with two built-in rotary dials ranging from 1,800-9,900 rpm in 100 rpm increments, and a handy LED shows when the launch rev limit is active.
