what rpm was you leaving at? I say more 2 step rpm then go to the front tires.

I adjusted the depth of the brake pedal switch to get my reaction times down. Also went to a hard sole shoe to-remove flexing of the sole.

Honestly with a car that heavy and likely not to get any lighter soon, I would put the TB switch on the steering wheel or somewhere convenient. You will be more consistant, and be able to shim the switch better. Not that slowing it down helps, but you do get more range.
Normally when we need a quicker reaction time, we raise the launch rpm and or front tire pressure...That's about it. I have never had to speed mine up, I always had to figure out how to slow it down.

1000 rpm should be enough to help that 60 light. Raise it 200 RPM at a time and find the sweet spot.

Not knowing what button you have but the button itself can make a great difference. In my truck, I have a plain old Moroso type button (Delay bypass for reverser shifting ) and an adjustable height soft button (thru the delay box) my reaction times are much more consistent (and quicker) with the soft touch button than the Moroso button. If you put a soft/short throw button in the pedal it may help

i was using the horn button, (most likely would not pass tech) just a ground switch was going thru horn relay .140-.180 lights. switch on brake pedal is transbrake fast switch, will try tire pressure and starting line rpm

I never had much luck with the button on the brake pedal. I put a Dedenbaer on the steering wheel. I drove a stocker one time that had a button on the pedal. Didn't like it either. Seemed to be inconsistent.

Quite honestly, at that low rpm a 2 step is a waste of time. Been there, done that.
