Default My 406 roller in action

Brake line lock helps for sure on start.

406 roller - Eagle Rod/Crank -> JE Pistons -> Brodix 64cc/220cc Aluminum Heads -> Crane Billet Core Solid Roller Cam 242/250 @ .050” .580/.600” lift with 1.5 rockers Lobe installed at 102-> Hooker Headers -> Elderbrock Performer -> Rochester Quad 800 -> M22 4 SP -> 4.10 rear = Pretty damn good power

Sorry, Can't find time slip so I will not post what it ran.

I don't see how locking the only the front tires would help up at the tree?

Goofing off. Only place you can burn rubber without getting a ticket.

I was really asking why would somebody use the line lock at the tree?

I have a line lock. I use it for getting the the tires up to 90 mph in the water box. But when you have an auto tranny you want all 4 brakes to hold you in place (Power Braking) and then as the tree goes down off with the brake and flooring the gas pedal.

With just a front line lock. it doesn't take very many rpm and it will push you forward for a "RED Light"
