Well you should have told the 20 year old kid back then.
(Me 30 years ago)
Good to state it here and now for those who need the info, with a good example.
I have to admit I was late to the 2 step party. I ran MFI and a Mallory Super Mag III that was almost 5 amps. 2 steps were hard to come by.
But they are a valuable tool. Rather than making a clutch change, or a shock adjustment you can move the 2 step RPM and make the car hook. Or, if the track is biting like you are on cogs you can hit the hell out of it.
