On a typical bracket car with a manual valve body, can the valve body affect et, 60'? What about footbraking with a transbrake valvebody?

Paul at Turbo-Action told me his non-LBA FMVB is a tenth quicker than his LBA FMVB, if that's of any value. I originally asked him about the LBA version, but we talked for a while about my combination, experience, etc. and he recommended the non-LBA at the time (15+ years ago?).

Back around 1974 I think, that was the claim to fame on the TA valve body when most were using the B & M manual shift (which had LBA).
Getting the rear band off before 2nd gear was the issue.

On my slow junk there was no difference between a non lba T/A and an lba Griner footbrake valvebody.

I didn't see a difference between non LBA and LBA.
