Burnout Problems, and Linelock Question? I'm having trouble doing burnouts on the street in my car, I think I'm giving it too brake and not enough gas. Anyway will a line lock cure my problems?
Is my understanding of the linelock correct?
You roll up, put your foot on the brake, push the button let off the brakes. The front brakes keep held down all the way and the rears are no longer given fluid. You floor it, big cloud of smoke, and hit the brake again releasing the line lock on the back.

Re: Burnout Problems, and Linelock Question? Pretty much.
Some people hit the line lock and pump the brake a few times to make sure it really stays. Do the burnout (still holding the line lock). Let go of the line lock when you're ready and it'll roll out. At least, that's how it is with my Hurst roll control. It's like a dead man's switch, you hold it to engage it, and let go when you want to release it. No need to tap the brakes to release it or anything.
Roll up and stop
Put foot on brakes
Hold line lock switch
Pump brakes to build pressure (if you want)
Hit gas or hit gas+dump clutch (depending on tranny)
When satisfied, let go of line lock switch
Marvel at cloud of smoke
Get out of car and flex
Take pick of gorgeous women who are now flocking to you
Go home with her
Anything after that is optional.
That's how it works with me anyway. (RIGHT!)
Dope

A line lock is exactly what it says. It locks the line pressure. So when you mash the brake, the line pressure is high and set the line lock. Once the line lock is set, don't pump the brakes because it just puts pressure against a closed valve.
You can pump the brake BEFORE you set the line lock to get the pressure up.
My line-lock.

Re: Burnout Problems, and Linelock Question? You can do burnouts all day long.
I get my tires wet (QTP'S), pull out of the water, set line lock, stick it in 2nd gear, ease into the gas to about 2000rpm then ramp it to get them spinning. Get them going to about 5000rpm for about 2-3 secs, then let off line lock and spin them out about 5 ft. They should finish with a nice bark.

My line-lock. Agreed, do not pump your brakes after you set the linelock. Hold you brake to the floor and set the linelock. Then do the best burnout of your life

Re: Burnout Problems, and Linelock Question? Once I activate the line lock i can remove my foot from the brake or should I keep it on the brake? I'm not sure from what I've heard...

Well that's not completely true with all line locks. Read the instructions that come with a Hurst roll control. It says that after holding the brakes and pushing the button to pump the brakes one more time to create enough pressure to keep the car from moving. Hurst uses a spring loaded one way valve to allow you to add pressure after pushing the button. Other brands may be different.
It's worked for me for the last 3 years

Re: Burnout Problems, and Linelock Question? Don't hold push on your brake pedal once you've engaged the line lock. If you push on the brake pedal, it will engage the rear brakes also, so what's the point of line lock.
My SLP line lock is on a toggle switch (mounted in the ash tray so I don't hit it accidentally)
