Default Line Lock Q.

Just to clear things up.. Line lock locks the front brakes only keeping my rears safe....(as aposed to the sideways foot clutch/brake action) right..alowing me to just spin my tires to warm em up at the line. Do i need to try n shift into 2nd to get the tires spinning faster/hotter or is 1st gear sufficient? or should i clutch dump in 2nd already putting me in 2nd gear for burnout. Assume SPEC 3, 9", and et streets.

TIA..

Using the brake method to do the burn out, is it that hard on the rear brakes? Just wondering? I have heard of several individuals doing this with no problems. imput please

the way i see it, when you hit your brakes, the stopping power is 80% front 20% rear(i think thats right), so in essence. it would be like driving a little ways with the e-brake about 2 or 3 clicks engaged. Common sence tells me the only thing i could see it doing is premature wear on the rear pads, but im no expert
