    The setup above is what I’m doing, it very simple. Also I wired it so that when it’s on, the brake light in the dash should light up.

    Mine used to do that but now brake light on all the time. I used to be able to press brake hard and get it to go off....
    Any ideas?

    Did you wire it thru the line lock switch using the parking brake or the proportioning switch? I used the parking switch wire.

    Hugger, how does it help you do a burnout with the rear brakes “on”?

    It's a solenoid all it does is open and close a plunger....when it receives power it closes...so in the rear line you just send power. It closes blocking psi to the rear.....so you just hold the button and burn out...you don't have to push or even pump the brakes then pushed the button then burnout.

    Now when used as a "roll control" yea in the front is beneficial BUT that was when tracks were rough as hell.....they all have nice flat areas for the first 60 at least...or at least the ones I've been on my whole life...never once have I need to anything to help hold the car.....

    You have 6in of room for the car to move b4 breaking the beam ..so you roll in the middle...barely light the second set then go another 2in then get the rpm where you want....put some psi on the clutch it's not goin anywhere..then ride it out....I doubt you gonna wanna be dropping the clutch at 4k but even you it will stay put

    I'll be running my pops 4 speed car this year at the Nats would be a good side by side match with.you and Frank if he gets his together and there....I'll be giving 4 speed launch classes all weekend! Ha...I just drive his out..no burnouts...I've gone 1.70s just driving it out
