. Just footbrake it and go .But now that I think about it more, you're right...it wouldn't work because it releases the rear brakes and you would just burnout...

I'm waiting to do my rotors and pads and switch over to stainless steel brake lines when I get the line lock put in. Might as well do it all at once. It shouldn't cost much though.

You would probably notice the mistake in time in most cases but say if you needed brakes fast... you'd be screwed. Best thing to do is put the switch where you can cover it so as it is not to be accidently activated.

When the line lock is activated the brakes the line lock is attached to (usually the front) will hold the same pressure as they had before the lock was activated.
example if you are not pushing the pedel and activate the lock- the (front brakes) will remain with no pressure no matter how hard you push the brake pedal.
same thing if you had the pedel pushed in say 25% and activate the lock the (front brakes) will remain at 25% until the lock is released.
another thing to consider is that it is not reccomended to engage the lock for more than 60seconds. I assume this could damage the linelock itself. I believe the smj kit includes a master switch and a momentary for extra protection.
I have some more info on line locks in my signiture below
