MSD 2-Step Install

In this episode I install the MSD Model # 8733 2-Step module for LS engines. This is a Rev Limiter that will limit the RPM to whatever it is set for when the 2 step is active. I also wire it in to the brake light circuit along with a switch, so that it is only active when the brake is on and the switch is on. This kind of acts like a launch control, in that I can hold the brake at the starting line and limit the RPM and when I release the brake the engine can rev to full RPM's.

9:05 ish,
sir, when i saw 64ths on that ruler i knew you were a man of class. i'm not even mad about the wire nut for testing purposes anymore.

Love that boost sound! I’m still messing with my LS swap on my 92 c1500. Your videos have helped me along the way! Great video man!

This was my favorite notification of the day! i missed your content man!

So basically from my understanding the blue wire goes to switch and then the other end on the switch goes to the white brake pedal wire?

explosions and do not explain anything thank you very much. and good co-pilot🐕👍

I plan on putting one of these on my 01 V6 Camry with blast pipes headers & straight pipe with intake

I wires to the same wire but it don’t release voltage fast enough for the truck to take off like it should.. when I take off the 2 step is still engaged

[FlipSideGarage]

What if i just want to use a switch just for stand still 2 step? I wont need the brake switch?

[Juanrrr]

So couldn’t you have just ran the white wire from your brake pedal to the switch, blue wire from MSD to the switch and a ground wire? Or does the blue wire from the MSD have to be spliced to the brake pedal wire and then ran to switch and also have the brake pedal wire to the switch?

I have had mine for 6 months and it has now started limiting my rpm while driving any ideas on how to fix it?

[TheMike]

Great video just still a little foggy on wiring to switch?

[reyreyna]

From what im gathering your limiting your rpms...im no racer but can you please explain why you want to do that for a race?

[DiscoGreen]

Does that sob only work like the power grid on the 6ald? I have the 6al digital and ITS rev limiter works freaking great. I also have rev limit verification ON.. BUT.. when I hit the line lock and it activates my 2 step (the 2 step with 2 dials on it) the LED on the w step activates and I have the blue wire going to the Grey MSD wite per the instructions. But NADA no rev limit ever... I thought maybe it's because of the verification.. but then I stumbled upon the power grid needs the 6al to be set at 1 and 1 for "special function" aka for the power grid.... I also have nitrous and was planning on a restart but I am not sure if it will even work either.

[randyrichardson]

what about mounting your switch panel into the overhead console?

[willygarcia]

Hey quick question i plugged in mine i havent install the ground wire or the blue white wire but when i turned the truck it activates the msd 2 step i have same as you any ideas???

[serpent]

Did it throw a "check engine" light? I'm thinking about installing one on my 03 Escalade.

[Blake-qbgw]

I hope this thread is still active but serious question. How did you splice the power wire from the MSD to the brake light wire and also wire it to the switch

[daviddelacruz]

What’s difference between blue cable n blue and white?

[Jason-kntw]

Nice videos - you explain stuff very well.

Question does this over-rider the factory rev limiter, so say factor is set to 6.5k and you want the main rev limiter set to 7k cheers

Randy I was beginning to worry COVID got ya.
