Default Question about line locks

I wanted to install a line lock on my Z to warm up the slicks at the strip but the mechanic told me they don't install LL's on cars with ABS. I know other vette owners with LL's. Is the guy giving me BS about the ABS??

Call Cartek they have what you are looking for. I think there is something to aware of, but not if done correctly. They will set you up.
Also my buddy put a LL on his 99 C5 with no problems.

I have heard of the same problems. There aren't too many shops that would put those in for you.

3 years with a line lock in my 01 Coupe. I use it all the time with no issues. Someone above suggested calling Cartek, I agree as they have the complete kit with the proper lines.
