Re: truck launch

Yes those were foot brake launches. I'm affriad my wheelie days might be over for a while with the transbrake powerglide going in. I think it will be much more tame out of the hole vs the 4L80E with foot brake. But who knows really.

As far as violence out of the hole, I think it might be less violent. IE lifting the front as much due to less gear multiplication. But I tink it will still cut similar if not better 60' times with the bigger stall. Who knows how it will work with the bottle since before it was not working right out of the hole. But then again I never really got to working on the bottle as much as I should have.
