Re: line lock? Reply #1 – March 07, 2005, 03:07:02 PM It's fairly easy to install, the line lock is for your brakes not trans.There is a trans brake also if that is what you are thinking of for the AOD. Summit sells kits for line lock. Quote Selected
Re: line lock? Reply #2 – March 07, 2005, 03:47:27 PM Line lock is basically an electrically controlled valve. Step on the brakes, press the line lock, release the brakes. The line lock holds the pressure on the front brakes and releases the rear. Quote Selected

Summit sells kits for line lock.I see said the blind man :hick: so which would be better/cheaper? line lock or trans brake? I'm assuming the trans would be more complicated and expensive.no wonder I couldn't find anything searching for "aod line lock" :giggle: Quote Selected
Re: line lock? Reply #4 – March 07, 2005, 05:06:04 PM Line lock is cheaper.U use to the line lock to lock the front wheels so u can do a burn out.Some people use the line lock to hold the back wheels when they load the car to race.Trans brake is used to lock the tranny in 1st and R so u can rev the motor higher in the Power ban get more powe to the tires and not spin the tires wile staged and ready to go Quote Selected
Re: line lock? Reply #5 – March 07, 2005, 07:26:09 PM so is it worth it to get it? IIRC a line lock greatly improves the 60ft times and launches. or should I spend my $$ on something else? I think it'd just be cool to say "Well I have line lock on my car "also, which would be better? locking the front tires or the rear? Quote Selected
Re: line lock? Reply #6 – March 07, 2005, 08:03:56 PM You'll need some really good brakes in the rear if you use it out back.. Likely it would creep out of the stage beam, with the stock Bird binders(even the TC discs)..... I'd go with it out front... Quote Selected

Re: line lock? Reply #12 – March 08, 2005, 05:57:14 PM I thought heel-toe was used in cornering, with a stick shift Quote Selected
Re: line lock? Reply #13 – March 08, 2005, 06:12:24 PM QuoteI thought heel-toe was used in cornering, with a stick shiftit is. sorry, i was thinking stick. i use the same method for brake standing the car and staging/torquing up the car for launch (5 speed). obviously u can easilly use 2 feet with an automatic. i always thought it was stupid to rev the engine, drop the clutch and jump over to the brake to brake stand a car like so many do....it just looks amatureish and "hacked". much like my spelling Quote Selected
Re: line lock? Reply #14 – March 08, 2005, 06:22:54 PM lol, I just use 2 feet, I only have 2 pedals :p and I thought a line-lock would greatly improve your launches Quote Selected
