Is a line lock a one way check valve or a soleniod that stops the fluid my car was set up with the line lock on the rear wheels it works great but my buddy says it is wrong should be on the front?
Its actually both(most), its a solinoid that closes but it also has a pressure limit that if you go higher than the limit it will let off some of that pressure. I prefer them on the front for my burnout process, other than that I dont use it Also, alot of the designs allow you to push fluid past the valve in 1 direction while the valve is engaged/on, so if you have the valve hooked to the rears and you press the brake pedal you might be applying pressure to the rears and not know it

It is leagal to use a line lock on the brake line going to the back (you install it backwards). If you want you can put it in the line going to the back brakes to BLOCK line pressure and in that case you activate it, then press the brake pedal and then do your burnout. That way to can release the brake pedal and roll out of the water.
In this case it wold be a good idea to use a "dead man" switch for the line lock to insure that it is not left on reducing your braking at the end of a run.
I know of several cars set up this way.

I sorta like the idea of being able to control your rollout during your burnout. It also gives you the ability to use it to run your brakes at the start line, as holding the rear brakes will normally hold the car, whareas holding the front brakes only, most cars will push through the lights. some may find this more consistant than a regular foot-brake starting procedure.
Thoughts?

If you want to use a Valve to BLOCK rear line pressure they do make valves (line lock type) specifically for this purpose. They are used on circle track cars to get them to turn into corners. They block brake pressure to a specific wheel in certain circumstancs.
