Who uses stage6 for their a8

[Unholy707]

Hey guys, looking for those who have experience with the stage6 2step box on their A8. Does it work well? Does it load the drivetrain and flash the converter up? Is the lowest rpm too much for the stock 15-16 converter?

Happy new year bump! Does no one use this?

It's controlled by the brake pedal and the lowest stall is 2000 rpm. Didn't fit my needs.

One potential problem using it with the stock converter is the low limit I believe is 2000 rpm. I had one with the OE electronics and it worked fine but I had a 4000 stall converter with a T400. If you go with a Demon or aftermarket converter then it should be ok. Or you could try it and find out and let us know what happens.

The lowest setting is 1500, I have video proof of this. The 2krpm lowest setting is bad information.

Hmmm.

They must of changed it since I inquired about it. I asked them if they could lower the rpm and switch it to a button control. They said no to both.

It would make sense for them to change it in my opinion.

Really?? That’s very good to know! I probably dont make anywhere close to what you’re making, so this might be the ticket then

They're located in Jacksonville. You can easily find out more information from them.

I wonder if the tazer/burn box line lock will still work with it

I know it says 2k rpm everywhere but line fuman said that could be wrong. If it goes down to 1500 rpm should be perfect

HHP also sold me the wrong burnbox before lol. All of that stuff they list is just copied and pasted from the supplier and not kept up to date

I went directly to them to get it installed.

As I posted earlier, they told me that the lowest rpm was 2K.

Now it it's been changed, that would be great.

You can figure it out.

My opinion is unless you are racing in a class using a Pro Tree…. there’s no benefit. The main advantage of the 2-Step is reaction time. Even if you can get the thing to work at a low rpm… how’s that really going to work from a performance standpoint. You’ve got your engine banging away selectively not firing cylinders and when you release, it’s supposed to go to WOT instantly and like that? I can also tell you (because I use one) launching off a 2-step hits the tire harder than flashing the converter off a foot brake and will be more likely to spin the tires. Unless you’ve got the track and driveline to take it, you’re not doing yourself any good.

I was trying to set something up with a button control since my left leg is "lazy" because of my back. My reaction times were all over the place and usually not good.

Tried to get an actual line lock installed and couldn't find anyone to get it done properly.

Ended up just foot braking and living with it.

I have one in my shop for the new build I will have fun playing with it.

You going to wire it to a button?

 

[Hatermkr]

You going to wire it to a button?

Yes and it will activate my ams 2000 for my boost ramp

 

[DavidKFla]

Yes and it will activate my ams 2000 for my boost ramp

I wonder why they don't offer options for the activation?

 

[Hatermkr]

The ams does off the trans brake. I don’t have one so the two step will work just fine. This is doing the times ramp.
