In my opinion those loaders are junk, made from crapy steel and the welds are 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

As for the shoe, looks to be to be a flat shoe. Better photos of the shoe please.

Just thinking out loud here....

My MSD has a 2 step built in...

Anyone think it might help if i were to setup the 2 step to say 4500rpm til i feel it load then let off the 2 step?

Thoughts?

GT?

Yes. Yes I have.... if I finagle the throttle just right it launches decent enough as it is

The 2 step is essentially free after running a single wire

Figured it's worth trying it out

Yeah, totally.

We had a soft throttle kit in the raceboat, I personally hated that son of a bitch, but our driver drove like a caffeine loaded 5 year old without it.

I'm thinking set it to 3500 or so. Putting it on a momentary button

Once it's headed towards a good plane lifting the button

After a few times and seeing if it'll work well

I'll lift off of the 2 step and then lay onto the nitrous. Should make for am interesting ride
