Description
MSD 2-Step Launch Control Module for Ford 5.0L Coyote
Gain a competitive drag strip edge with repeatable 60-foot times and rock-solid launch consistency on your Ford 5.0L Coyote V8.
Product Overview
Engineered for high-performance drag strip staging, the MSD 8731 2-Step Launch Control Module delivers consistent, repeatable holeshots by establishing a precise starting-line launch RPM. By overriding guesswork and eliminating throttle feathering, this module allows drivers to hold engine RPM perfectly steady prior to launching. When the activation trigger—such as a clutch pedal switch, line-lock, or transbrake—is released, full ignition power is restored instantly for maximum acceleration. Built with direct factory coil connectors, installation is completely plug-and-play without cutting or splicing factory wiring.
Key Features
- ☑ Wide Adjustable RPM Range: Launch limits selectable from 1,800 to 9,900 RPM in precise 100 RPM increments.
- ☑ Dual Rotary Dials: On-board precision dials enable instant, tool-free launch RPM adjustments without requiring laptops or software.
- ☑ Direct Plug-in Wiring: Connects seamlessly into factory coil-on-plug wiring harnesses for quick, splice-free installation.
- ☑ Active LED Indicator: Visual status light alerts the driver immediately when the launch rev limiter is activated.
- ☑ Versatile Trigger Options: Fully compatible with manual and automatic applications via clutch switch, line-lock, or transbrake trigger.
