This and your converter won't cut it with a trans brake. Trans brakes are really race only items and completely unnecessary for the street. The transmission also should be built around a brake.

You can lock them out and footbrake the front to do your burnout. Then, lock them in, and use the back brakes to launch off of with the button (I think your finger on a button is going to be quicker than your foot on a brake pedal).

And you can't powerbrake the car as hard when only 2 wheels are holding the car, rather than 4 with the pedal. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

I tried power brakin but the car still wants to lunge forward and im afraid at the track im gonna trip the light.

Many cars that go up in smoke on the street, won't even be ABLE to break the tires loose at a well prepped track. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120
