GM Diesel Truck guy saying Hi! HI every one, I found this site doing a search for installing a line lock on GM abs breaks. It looks like ill be able to find some help on the subject here. I drag race my 6 speed manual duramax truck and want to install a line lock to help with staging, My current three feet method i feel is keeping my down on my 60'. I need to hold the brakes on the line and slip the clutch to build some boost befor launching. I thik a line lock would work but im not sure how and where to put it on a ABS system or even if you can. Ill start a thread some where else for that though!!
Thanx,
Caleb
Thanx,
Caleb

Thanx for the welcome every one!
For now The engine is stock as far as rods, pistons, heads, injectors and so on! I added a Garret GT40-94r Turbo, Dual cp3's ( injection pumps), EFi Live tuning to 550 rwhp. THere is more power to be had in tuning but i keep it at 550rwhp to try and keep the rods inside the block!!! Also a south bend dual disk clutch and some home grown suspension mods along with a set of cal trac bars on the rear!! I have a Spare engine in the shop, just waiting on some more $$ to start the build!

hey dude, i'm not really sure if i'm following you on the reason you need a line lock.. diesels dont have a throttle to limit air intake, so wouldnt you build boost based on engine speed as opposed to load?

No the turbo needs load to spool, I can tune it to help spool by retarding the timing some but it only dose so much. The main reason i need it is to keep from rolling through the lights while holding the rpms up and holding the clutch in and slipping just a bit. I currently launch in third gear, I can launch in 4th on the street when i dont have to worry about rolling ahead a bit. Right now i use the E brake to hold the truck back at the lights, This isnt real safe so i want to install a lock with a shifter mounted control switch? I can consistantly 60' in the 1.8x's but have done as well as 1.71, its just hard to repeat, with all the comotion going on with the e brake, switching hands on the wheel, shifting and working the clutch.
