how are you guys launching at the line? I don't have a transbrake and I'm running ET Streets.

If you don't have a transbrake, just launch on idle. Slam on the throttle the moment you see the second yellow light light.

I have a transbrake and we run a pro-tree. I stage and press the transbrake button. Floor it when both cars are staged. Release the transbrake button as soon as I see the first hint of a yellow light coming on. Then, hang on.

No, it's not for sale. And, if it was, it wouldn't be for cheap. I'm going to keep it as a spare.

it was worth a shot


do you have any vids of your car launching Jim???

Why launch at idle? Shouldnt you bring it up to its max stall speed? Launching at idle is not good for a car like my 66 that doesnt make any power until 3-3.5K LOL. But for whetever reason the hughes converter doesnt seem to stall much past 1500ish...by 2K its spinning the tires LOL(3K stall...or supposed to be). I really need a new tranny, next I think ill get a 3500 stall.

my car has a 3600rpm but you can only foot brake it up to 2200rpm before tires spin at the starting line. Also with ET Streets I don't exspect to much wheel spin if any at all. I'll never do that on street tires, just wasted rubber lol

Ive tried both ways, flash stall and foot brake stall, the flash seems to pull harder off the line 4 some reason. I could only muster a 13.4 with foot braking as well. Try them both and see what works best.
