dont have a brake, my trans is a turbo 350C (lockup) and no one makes a manual or trans brake valve body for it. This trans is just a TH350 with a shift kit, TCI intermediate sprag/drum and 2.75 1st gear - vacuum modulator and all..

Honestly if the car is set up right a brake really wont help the 60' much, tried it hundreds of times This car is a pooch out of the hole so a brake may help it a bit but since I cant use one not much I can do unless I swap transmissions/converter..

Yea, I'm running the standard 2.45 gear, 2.75 must make it a little better, I know that I consistently did better w/the brake, usually a tenth on the 60'

Usually the brake will 'shock' the suspension harder and hook better, plus on a heavy car with not enough gear it will help. I'm sure a brake would help my car but TH350 brakes arent that great and I dont want to give up the HP going to a TH400. If I had over 500rwhp I would go TH400 but I dont, this 350 seems to be holding up pretty well though..

Its easier (and cheaper) for me to put a 50-75 dry shot on a 2 second timer to help my 60's

Very Nice KP.. Gotta love the P-1SC.. It's a good blower. 10's would be a major task for me at this altitude and M6. But I'll go for it..
