So you just flip a switch, the front brakes lock up, and its burnout city?

you got it basically, you have to be at a complete stop, then flip the switch, pump the brakes to lock the fronts and go to smoke town. your tires will hate you

the install is easy as pie, if you can handle a little basic wiring and know how to bleed your brakes you shouldnt have any trouble, took me about 20 minutes to do

About 30 min. Bleed the brakes when you are done.

How do you unlock it? Flip the switch back up?

when your done destroying the rubber, flip the switch up. all it is a solenoid that locks the brakes pressure so once you release it, your good to go. thunder racing has a nice kit, comes complete with pre-bent lines with fittings and electrical stuff to hook up. you could build it yourself for a lot less if you have a small pipe bender and a flaring tool.
