Default Love the line lock.

Ran a 7.88@93.5 1/8th. New best for me. It was hot and sticky. Everyone was running .3-.4 slower. I got within 2 cars of that blown Buick. Man, he gets out of the hole. The line lock really helped tonight. It was a pain to install, but well worth it. http://adobe.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?...21b32a0716a4cd

It took about 5 hours over 2 days. There are modifications needed to the recommended parts for an 03. The bottom of the head of the fitting to the ABS unit had to be machined 1/8" so that it would seat. The fitting to the master cylinder is 12mm, so we had to have a 1/4" line, with a double flare, made. Adapters and correct fittings are either not made or hard to find. The fittings on our cars are a mix of standard and metric. They want to drive us nuts.
I'll get some pictures tomorrow.

Line lock is a good thing, but it can cost you money in tires!
