Take out as much power as you like, add it back later: spark retard.

So who could benefit from this second gear launch the most ? A tuff SB, a nitrous combo ? Would the typical NA 700hp big block car that struggles for traction like it ?

I do on the street with a big inch Pro Street car just to avoid as much as possible the 1st gear, rolled sprag issue. Figure if I did have an issue w/ the trans, the drum won't be turning as fast.

ive had the CRT clean neutral with 2nd gear leave valve body in my car for 2 seasons. I LOVE IT! Having the ability to leave in second on the trans brake is great. I have a 8sec turbo car and use a bump box to help get consistant boost on the brake. also with new style solenoid he has, it reacts super fast. I highly recommend it.
