Buy a Chevy, there's an idea.
^^^ :LOL: Maybe next year if this economy get Better. I thought about Chevy parts (PowerGlide) but I want to be able to Drive it to the Valley and Back
=) Just kidding with you. I don't know my Turds, so I can't be much help.
Tie it to something and when the light goes green, have someone real quick cut the rope
Line lock? Hydro Boost brakes? Proportioning valve...just a couple of ideas.
Thanks for the Help pl4boy

Isn't an line lock just good for the Burnout??Quote:

Truck is not Running yet, PSI just finish one and that's the Stall they used and is working great BUT at the Track the truck moves off the line! The owner built it more for Street racing and don't care for the numbers at the trackQuote:

With a line lock to lock out the rears, all you would do is spin in place IF the fronts could hold it there. Maybe it's time for a tranny swap to something that DOES have the options for a trans brake.
EDIT: Look what I found. http://www.lentechautomatics.com/e4odtb.html
I want to make it as easy as possible to stall it without having to brake it and e-brake at the same time to hold the truck! What about a two step??? What do ya think about it?? Will it Work???

That's what I was told by Flaco but nobody that I know has done it on a Ford so I just wonder if it would work the same. That more than likely that it shouldQuote:

A lot of people are doing it on L's... sec, I'll use my super duper search engine to find it again.
First: contact info for the T-brake http://www.lentechautomatics.com/contact.html
Secondly, an L using a two step.
YouTube - Steve Cooper Ford Lightning
Just do a little research and you should find what you're looking for.
If I could Afford it my Lightning would look like Steve's but I would have to sell the House for it. So is the two step Street Friendly??
Thanks! I already send them an e-mail and I will continue on the searchQuote:

From What I got from the Lightning Guys on Lightningrodder is that Johnny Lightning was one of the last guys to try this with Poor Results! Most of them are on the Foot brake and E-brake to hold the Truck. I'm still going to look at this in alittle deeper to see what I find. Thanks guys for all the HelpQuote:

A two-step has no affect on street manners if you don't use it on the street. You arm and disarm as well as set it.
