Starting Line Enhancers

[Crossbones Dennis]

Tip, Tricks, Opinions anyone?..... ;D

I was looking at the Shiftnoid the other day.

I just want do do away with the two step.

Love my starting enhancer. And use it in conjunction with the three step

I just hold it to the mat and go against the converter. Wait till you see the second bulb and mat it. Kevin Prior, Steve Pearson and Ron Nilges all use starting line enhancers.

i use a transbrake,leave off the 3rd bulb,but my reactions are either bad or red,can anyone shed light on this,yea i use a practice tree everyday,but its not like being in the car,i try to stage at the same place,and i leave off the same rpm chip everytime,my 60s stay the same

I would guess you are trying to change your spot. I try to keep my spot the same and change the car to change my reaction. I bet your natural spot is red so when you hesitate that i when the bad ones come in. You probably need to slow the react of the car.

my last times out and when i took my lic runs they were red,so im not to far off,putting the car in the same place i try to do,ive played with front air pressures to,old age may play a part,but at least i still try,and get out every weekend,win,loose or draw,we love our sport

Mike I use it as a starting line control only in brackets, Steve can only use it in S/P it's not allowed in pro(bad rule) I think Ron still uses it as a starting line control instead of 2 step also

I don't know why, I always thought there was more to a 'starting line enhancer' than just using an air cylinder instead of a two-step for the launch.

What do I know anyway? I'm just a dumb old foot-braker!

[bracketracing]

Starting line enhancer set up in the box will not floor car until your bulb comes on so your not on 2 step for longer spots

My box has a SLE setting. I'm good there. I already have a throttle stop so all I need is a one way cylinder.

w333's is set up to hit the 2 step 2 or 3 bumps before the green. I'd like to not hit the 2 step. Just leave like a foot brake car does. I guess I'll need a valve to control opening rate. It will be interesting to see how it affects ET.

[W333]

After thinking about it, I hope you can still hit the tires hard enough to plant them and keep them planted doing it this way.

[jeremy341a]

It will not slow down as much as you think. Several of my cars run the same footbraking to just about 4 hun slower. My s10 was not as consistent leaving off the footbrake as it did not plant the tires.

Dan Smith uses a cylinder on the throttle ,Must work pretty good for him , I heard he wins once in while too???

[Crossbones Dennis]

Actually, my car ran faster when I was footbraking it when we first put it together. It's been 6.20's but runs 40's-50's now. Of course we have made a lot of changes since then.
