You need to talk to ATV or Shiz on here. They cut 1.15-1.18 60fts on Hoosier DRs.

With the proper weight transfer you should be able to dead hook that truck on the transbrake.

I have no doubt about that, I guess I took this thread as a "transbrake= only way to 60ft better" when I view it as a consistency tool.

I guess I don't see what's so hard about hooking off the T-Brake, set your 2-Step 3200-3500RPM and slowly work your way up until the 60ft become inconsistent then back off a few hundred RPM. I'm running a 5000-5200Stall cutting consistent 1.54-1.52 60ft and using cheap *** Summit Drag shocks, IceMan Uppers, Lakewood Lowers, TRZ Anti Roll Bar, and 275/60/15 ET Pro Radials... Rest is all stock!

Might be a little easier for me using the Glide Trans but if I could get my hands on an good Th350 with a TransBrake I'd Love it!!
