Default Anyone used a Linelock on their C7?

So it was brought to my attention today that Lingenfelter makes a line-lock kit for the C7. I've never seen it mentioned on here before.

Does anyone have it or know if it works good?

Seems to me that Chevy could provide this function electronically via the traction control/ABS systems if they wanted to. Turn the dial to line lock, push a button, and it would apply the front brakes and not the rears, say, until after the throttle is lifted following the burnout.

Yes that would be ideal. Like the Mustangs new built in system. Apparently the aftermarket system in my friends Camaro "lights up his dash like a Christmas tree" and his TC/ABS go completely nuts till he restarts the car. Was curious if anyone has anything installed for this on their C7.

I imagine the OP races his car and doesn't want this just to show off on the street. Line locks are very helpful at the track

I do race fairly often at the track, but this was asked more out of curiosity since it was brought to my attention. I'm not looking at purchasing the system myself.
