Never used it at the line, but it is a huge help in doing a burnout.
It also works ok as a e-brake for a short period of time if needed. However, it will kill the battery if left on for a while.

It is unsafe to use a line lock utilizing a NON-momentary switch. Choose setups that only use a momentary activation switch. Our kits use both a toggle non-momentary switch (master switch), and momentary switch (control switch). Flip the master switch, the remote LED indicator lets you know your circuit is live and ready for action. When you're not using your line lock, turn the master switch off to eliminate unwanted activation. This circuit works similar to how your cruise control functions.
We have a variety of styles which have been featured recently in GMHTP. LS1 kits can be viewed at http://www.sjmmanufacturing.com/cam_brk_ls1.html
Good luck!
They primarily are used to heat tires up without adding stress to the drivetrain, brakes etc vs. the typical approach. They provide a more controlled burnout.

Exactly. If you are using a non-momentary button to activate your solenoid, it is neither track legal nor safe. For example, if you (or someone else) accidently switches a non-momentary button while you're driving, the next time you tap your brakes, your front wheels will lock and stay locked.
…So if you're going 60mph down the road on the highway, your buddy in the car is playing around, the next thing you know when you're tapping your brakes to slow down, you may not realize what is happening...the next thing you know, someone is hitting you from behind or you lose control of your car.
While on the track, manually turning on then turn off a button doesn’t make sense either. If you’re in situation for some reason, using a non-momentary control switch may not leave enough reaction time.
The master switch is a redundancy built into the system to reduce accidental deployment just like your cruise control works.
Its not safe either. The likelyhood of you being stopped is really not the issue. Its not the safest way to approach the setup.
The problem lies wth accidental deployment. If the switch shorts, your line lock is activated. With no feedback (no led), you won't even know it. It also can shorten the life of the solenoid as people may have a tendancy to leave them on longer (they really shouldn't be used for durations of more then 30 seconds.), this can shorten the life of the solenoid.

I didnt use the momentary switch on mine, I just went and bought one of those ricer covered toggle switches, that way I dont have to worry about it accidentally being turned on, that damn cover has some spring power to it lol.
Make certain you're using at least our master switch so you can completely deactivate your circuit when not in use. If not, and the control switch malfunctions, it will turn on your solenoid. This is one reason why cruise control functions as such.
I'm not going to bash other companies products. Their line configuration appears to be a copy based on our front mount setup. That is where any similarities end. Based on my discussion, each can make their own determination of what suits them best.
