Give him a call. Nothing behind the scenes. All right here. I wouldn't tell him who what when where or why and then POOF. Church mouse.


Interesting. A call from me wouldn't do any good though since I don't even know him.
He would tell me to get ****ed. lol

Autos are my specialty. Trans brake on a street car makes perfect sense. Here's why, you can run less convertor/ heat and 60 times will be a lot lower. With less wear and tear on your trans in the long run. So when this is available you need to buy one if you have a higher stall converter then stock and do any racing at all.

I disagree,

Same/similar set ups I have never seen a manual 60' as well as a braked auto.

Edit: maybe shouldn't say never but in most cases.

That right there tells me which is harder on the tranny.

I always kept 2-step below stall.
Well, there were a few of those lets see just how hard it can launch times......

So because an Auto has a better 60', it means the auto is hitting the drivetrain harder than a Stick??? Interesting stuff :nonono:

I wonder if anyone is developing a trans brake for an MT82? I would pay well over 1 MEEEELEEIION dollars for that. ;)

Plumb a line lock in line, press the clutch pedal, activate the line lock, release clutch pedal, gas pedal down, let er rip!!!










































then coast to the side of the track and wait for the crew to push you back to the wall... :D

There you go again,

The reference was for STOCK cars that just add a turbo kit and transbrake.
Nothing else.


I'm done here.
People read what they want to in this section.

My next move will be to close it since I already had to remove 2 more comments and pictures which I said we would not tolerate.

If all else is equal what else would you think?

But, it's not equal.

Any automatic trans combo with a converter, is enabling a softer hit to the tire - regardless of whether or not there is a transbrake involved.

Propelling a vehicle the first sixty-feet is much more complicated than it sounds, and having a little slip/cushion is always the best way when making big power.

I see your point, but also consider this. Same car, same variables....only difference is a slick VS a street tire - which tire sixty-foots better? Does the same tire that sixty foots better, shock the drivetrain the most?

Im almost 90% sure ill be ready by tomorrow. My cars getting put on the dyno today and if all goes well should be done if not by tomorrow.:rockon:


This seems like the best possible option. It's reasonably close.
Good luck on the Dyno!

Couldn't have said it any better. Bravo!

Or we can do the scenario where the Auto will consistently 60ft in the 1.5x by just simply foot braking at 1500 rpm and letting the converter do the work vs the Manual that will have to rev the car to the moon and dump the clutch to achieve the same 60 ft and cause major shock to the driveline.

A Stock converter would be less than a higher stall converter no? So I could run it, with a transbrake and be better than a higher stall with out......guess people do read what they want to in this section!

I think we are doing a good job of keeping on topics.

This can also be seen in something as small as a sprung disk vs un sprung disk on the manual cars.

LOL, so what you're saying is you don't want to drive halfway across the country to see if there is really a car? :shrug:
He doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to do such a thing. That would risk him looking like a fool when he's wrong.



lmao

sorry, been busy doing work on a car that exists...
All you can do is run your jib. You ran your mouth and now that I have a race for you all you can do is dance around the race and insinuate I'm lying.

Why don't you post up a video of some transbrake action of your car? In video give me a big "F you Dustin." I've got money says you can't do it. That's why that mouth of yours has been MIA and you won't come in and lock a race

And how is it not equal if I said ALL THINGS EQUAL?

Same car, weight, tires, suspension, etc........
Everything on the car with the exception of auto/Man.

IF ALL THINGS ELSE ARE EQUAL THE QUICKER 60 WILL OR WILL NOT BE HARDER IN THE TRANNY/DRIVELINE/ENTIRE CAR?

.

Never said it couldn't, just said it is stupid to put a brake on a street car but hey,
It's your cash not mine.

Or we can do the scenario where the Auto will consistently 60ft in the 1.5x by just simply foot braking at 1500 rpm and letting the converter do the work vs the Manual that will have to rev the car to the moon and dump the clutch to achieve the same 60 ft and cause major shock to the driveline.

If that has to happen then I garrantee ALL ELSE IS NOT EQUAL.

Im pretty sure its going to depend on if its an Auto or a Manual tranny.

the only reason I can think of that it would put any more stress on the drive line, is that you can come up on load alot better and make damn near 700ft/lbs before leaving the light, but On an auto with a brake, you would still have the converter to soften the hit, even if its a small amount. Look at a sprung disk vs non sprung disk in a manual, that amount of "give" some times is all it takes NOT to break input shafts.

That's just me looking at it...I could be completely wrong.

Still not a trans brake....I'd be the only MT82 in the country with a trans brake....

Let's be honest. 1000hp street cars are stupid, too lol. But **** they're fun. There's something to be said when a car deives are carrying a big stick and is perfectly streetable. But the capability to get stupid at the track. If any us had any sense at all we'd give our significant other all the money in exchange for tail. This shit is just a waste of money lol. But again, **** it
