line lock/roll control question

[scott]

i will be putting mine on the rears when i get round to it, burns out well without a line lock any way!

It obviously makes sense to use the line lock to shut of your rear brakes.
Hold the button on the shift lever then press the brake pedal, FULL CONTROL RIGHT.
Had this system all along and the right system as i am concerned and many others will agree.
Let your foot of gently and and you will have full control off a rolling BURNOUT with out BURNING your rear BRAKES.

But to do that you have to left foot brake and I need my left foot ready in the correct position for another switch.

I dont have one.....Stop plant the gas in 1st and lift off the brake,and change up into 2nd then 3rd and ease off the gas to roll out....no problem.
no burnt brakes, no switches.... just smoke.

My rear does move around quite a bit though

Had a few problems this year by following the J.W. intructions start your burn out in 2nd then up to 3rd.....it didnt like it at all !! so after 2 attempts i went back to the 123 burnout faultless.

Iv'e just plumbed my line lock( planned to do it b4 Nats) but wont know if its front or back till I wire it up
What about 2 locks
1 Roll in use front lock - do burn out -unswitch.
2 Roll to stage momentry switch both locks on.
3 Floor it both locks released with full throttle switch via relay.
3 Yahoooo
ps why is Alan interested in Steves Rear

I agree with you AL, I never needed it on the Trans-am cos she just lays it down hard and i like creeping forward as far as i can as you can see on the mopar Nat's DVD 2003 but after taking your Charger down mate the rear line lock is the way to go used to use it on rally cars myself so you had pivot control on gravel round hairpins keeping rear wheels spinning and left foot breaking on the front so its a natural step for me. will add it to my Charger for sure. rock on mopar brother! O yes AL, well done on ya Moonshine shoots!!!!

Bob you need a MSD launch control or two step to achieve that better
Switch on stick or steering wheel
press button at stage,
Stage rpm is set and release switch full rpm

Should lay of them burgers Steve ...thanks mate


ps why is Alan interested in Steves Rear .....that all he ever sees

Sure! in the Nat's DVD I'm on BF G's and they when hot do get sticky but have had set of wide slicks on her and she's still got enough torque to rip as Pontiac Big blocks are well known but having had a go at what Alan's set up its a good way of holding her there and then slowly rolling out down the track total line lock on the front maybe the right way to go for a out and out track car but remember these cars aren't and also do more "For Show" burn outs on the street for fun so rolling burn outs are more of an appeal. anyway soon as you come out of the hole you let of both button and breaks but re break for stage thus regaining fluid control to the rears. But come on what Muppet breaks hard when he lets off down the strip anyway!

Ever heard of TOE & HEEL Dave. Anyhow,the safest way to fit a L/L would be in the rear line,as most of us perform burnouts on the street or @ shows,maybe at the traffic lights also .If the L/L is fitted to the fronts & the coil decided to burn out on the solinoid when doing a burnout,well,say no more.I prefer to have the front brakes covered @ all times & not rely on a cheap electrical device to hold the front brakes on.Maybe if I drove a manual I might fit it on the fronts,but I'd have to limit myself as to where I'd do it.REARS NO PROBLEM

Right on mate done loads of that on rally stages even with high lift cams at the traffic lights on the street in a race prep sunbeam Stilleto with straight cut jack knight gear box and it had a three spoke clutch! good fun.

My mate Paul on his 68 Dart when that pale green 69 Camaro flew across his path and back again at this years Nats

No rears on his then then and it would have been loads worse...
He had enough of a job with all his brakes.
