Default Line Lock Reccomendations

Hey guys.

I'm just now starting to seriously get into drag racing and I'm getting Nitto's on today.

Problem is my car is an M6 and I'm sure I'll have a problem doing a burnout at the track with my big feet (size 14).

Anyways going to put a line lock on her and was looking for experiences and reccomendations. I can only go to the track twice a month ( two weekends off) and it's a daily driver so I'd prefer not to spend a ton of money on this part but want a nice setup.

thanks.

pretty sure SLP sells one ---------->

but watch out with nittos and m6, stock 10 bolt isnt too strong although mine has lasted so far with only 4 passes down the track, just dont do any 6000 dumps and you should be ok

can you install a stereo speaker into the car? If so, you can do this yourself. The switch is the hardest part and that's just running wires.

Yeah install actually isn't that bad. I bought the thunder one, but it was the first electrical thing I've ever installed in a car. Cripes, I had to watch a buddy install my shiftlight for me! But just following the instructions step by step, everything worked fine on the first try. Shocked the **** out of me.
