Problem with line lock during burnouts...
I have a 99 Corvette that I just recently added a line lock. Since I added the line lock I have had problems with my burnouts. Here is what will happen...
Pull through the water box and spin the tires to get them wet, pull forward about 2 feet, hit the brakes, than the line lock, drop the clutch @ 4500 or so. As soon as I get the tires spinning the rear wants to go toward the passenger side of the car almost uncontrollably. Now if I foot-brake the burnout the car is fine, stays nice and straight. Any ideas?

Re: Problem with line lock during burnouts...
Are the front wheels rolling or sliding when the car is rotating (to the side)? Is the line lock holding both wheels or only one (we know what it should do, but what is it actually doing?). Any extra info you can give us will help....
