That's right. A functioning brake is being tested. We were testing a few things and Chris decided to shoot a quick video.
There was some "speculation" on whether it worked because of the wrench light. So this video I made it clear the light is off and the brake clearly working. Next will be launching with the prototype device. I was in a bit of a hurry during filming. I was running behind. I still had to put the car back to stock and return it to Hertz before 5pm.

I'm really missing something then. You are developing something that doesn't exist and getting dogged for it? It's not like you are selling them yet and you've been a fairly honest person on the forums so I would doubt you were making it all up. There has to be more to this story.

It's open for discussion, have at it.
Less than 8 psi
E85 or a mix depending on when I make his fuel system.
9 sec pass footbraking.
exh dumped up front

When he hits 9's, next goal is play w brake. Then ditch the small prototype intercooler for the base A/W unit. I think 9.7 is there on 7-8psi. Possible a touch more depending on the 60

That's a solid plan.

I'm getting dogged because I don't plan on immediately sharing it with everyone. Only my turbo customers. We had this figured out two years ago when we opened up the tranny in the white car. I just have zero desire to sell parts. When my kits started going out and there still wasn't an option we started looking at it more serious. But it snow balled into a vendor calling me out and not being able to back it up.

Has a few views, and isn't private. Anyone else having problems?

"Thank you very much Hertz"

Awesome.

So, does this mean CPR will develop a remote controlled system, so I can race a car without being in it?

The 6R80 with a trans brake would be awesome at the track for the coyote guys. What is the next step?--track testing? Video is pretty straight forward. Looks like a caveman figured it out.

In all honesty it's been figured. This was just money well spent to kick a little mud in a few folks face trying to be coy about whether it worked or not. We were testing how it would be set up in the first video. Now are the prototype transbrake not attached to 8ft of wiring lol.

This will be the only remote system Kelly ;)

What happens when you give it gas and release it under a load? That is the true test of it working in my opinion

That looks like a big stall, not a brake. I have never seen a car load up on a brake nor move.

Looks legit!!! I think it stalls until halfway and then he flips the switch. Nice.

Would rather not see it if its not for sale! That's what gets me. Now if a retail friendly company could please sell me one.
