there are two mainstream kits used by most follks.
The burkhart kit starting at $199
http://www.burkhartchassis.com/id84.html
The SJM kit starting at $139
http://www.sjmmanufacturing.com/cam_brk_ls1.html
From what I understand, both are excellent kits. The SJM kit comes with complete instructions, but I am not sure about the burkhart kit.
Both are available with an optional line lock which costs extra.
The kit saves an average of 12-13lbs on an ls1-fbody.

Does anyone know if it actually blocks pressure from reaching the rear brakes or applies it to the front? If it is the former, that means you still have to press the foot brake while performing the burnout.

Go to the link and look. $180 ++
add $20 for a special tool you need for the install and another $22 if you want the shifter switch for the line lock kit.
Figure $250 after tax and shipping if you get all the extras.

How clear where the instructions and how easy was the install?

Our directions are clear and precise. Pictorials are included with a schematic for the line lock (if you do not already have one).
Base kits come with all fittings and pre-formed lines and a proportioning valve to bias the brakes. Without ABS, you have zero bias controllability thus why we include one with every kit. Our kits completely remove the ABS bracket and ABS controller. Though preformed hard-lines do slightly increase the difficulty level, we choose to use only hard-lines as adding flexible lines to a braking system decreases brake performance due to line expansion.
Using our solenoid, the kit is complete even with the double flare tool for 199.99. You view the website if you prefer different solenoids or combinations. Give us a call if you have additional questions. Kits are in stock and ship typically within 24 business hours.
Shown below are a few sample installs of each solenoid type (and complete kit).

Very nice kit. With the proportioning valve , will it help with a stall converter on foot brake by adding more brake to the rear, or is it just to add more to the front?

I don't think the ABS will even work right with slicks on the back, and might be worse then not having it if you have a manual adj. prop. valve you setup. It dosn't work with diffrent sized tires for sure.
That, the weight savings 18-25#s redoing everything? And making is cleaner, easier to work on the car with aftermarkter Kmember, or turbo. And more room for plugs,heads/headers.
I'm sure thought kits are great. I'm happy with what I did, I htink you have to flare lines anyway. Thats the hardest DIY part, the stock lines are a bitch to flare. I just got a used SLP line like mike@newera gave me, somone stripped a fitting out and retuned it years ago. Got the adj. prop. valve form summit for like $15-$25 I think it was. And $20 in lines and fitting from the local parts store.
