Reaction Times/ 2-step with a line lock?
I hate to admit it but at 54, I'm not as quick as I once was.
 I've always been a No Box/Footbrake racer but I just can't footbrake lights like I once did. I raced Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week and the absolute best light I could muster was a .061 and most of my lights were in the .2+ range.  I tried deep staging but my car launches too hard with a 1.58 60' and I keep red lighting.With that said, I was really thinking about installing a 2-step with a line lock. I have an excellent TCI drag race TH350 now but I'm reluctant to put a transbrake in it and I really don't have the funds to buy a new TH400 and a new/resized driveshaft and safety loop. My car still has the factory drum brakes so I was thinking of upgrading to rear disc brakes and installing one of my Mallory HyFire ignition boxes (#695) with a 2-step and a rear brake line lock, both hooked to a button on the shifter. Thoughts?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
