Line locks for fun

[haydenbjj]

I searched, but without much definitive information.

I don't intend to drag race the car, but that being said, i would like to have some fun, and i have never owned a set of line locks. Two part question:


1. Looking online it looks like there are 2 common sets from SLP or Hurst, Which is better?

2. Am i crazy for wanting Line Locks on a car that i wont ever drag race?


flame away if necessary.

I have the slp and it works great. I got it for drag racing but have used it on the street a few times for fun.....like creating a smoke screen before leaving a car show so no one sees who all I hit

I say its your money and tires.....go for it.

I have the Hurst and I would try something else if I had it to do again. It works great but the fitment was not awesome.

And yeah, burnouts are much easier to do with line lock. Especially if you have an M6

don't worry about line lock - practice

 

[haydenbjj]

oh i have plenty of power brake practice, however, i have never had a supercharged manual transmission. i've seen too many out of control mustang burnout videos, so im gun shy. id rather have the ease of line locks lol.

so far 2 for SLP, and 1 against hurst. Sounds like SLP is the way to go.

just search line lock & SLP here, been discussed many times

I have an SLP kit, although my first solenoid failed after about a year where it would not release in a timely manner, i.e. I would let go of the button and it wouldn't release until 2+ seconds later, so that was no bueno, I ended up ordering a whole new kit and just replacing the solenoid since that was cheaper than buying just a replacement solenoid, go figure, lol

I use the CFM kit , very nice 2 solonoid set up .
it will help your rear brakes last longer if ya do smokies often .

I've never understood why companies were pushing the 2 solenoid systems.
The SLP setup has worked great for me for 6 years now. No flaring brake lines or chasing fittings, it is as easy as it gets.

there was concern that a single solenoid could make trouble with the ABS early on.

I had a PMP twin set up on my 06GT - worked very well.

I have had the SLP unit on my car for 8yrs now, zero issues, it works great both on the street and at the track with slicks. My Avatar is me doing a burnout in front of my house using the line lock.

I have the SLP line lock. Have used it hundreds of times and it has been on the car for over 50k miles. Still works.

If you have a hard time figuring out which way the hoses go message me. I have pics of the right way. It will 'work' the other way but you will have to force it and it looks a bit awkward IMO.

do you mind posting the pics for posterity sake? im curious what you're talking about...

I thought the CFM kit was the easiest install. All you do is replace the brake lines going to the hubs. No extra work needed, no flaring of brake lines and chasing fittings. just unbolt one line and replace. It also upgrades your brake lines to braided lines. And if you want to get really technical, when I was researching it seemed like the only one that was NHRA approved but I'm not sure if that is completely accurate.



No messing with the hard lines in the engine bay, it's all down in the wheel well.

Now that's slick.

These pics are the SLP lines done the right way in my car.

EDIT I just realized this only shows solenoid orientation. Which must also be done correctly. But if you look at the bend coming out the rest should be self explanatory since there are only 2 lines.

I think my install of the CFM only took 2 hours total .
wiring and all : )
