Re: Prop valve for drag racing

are you talking about using line loc? SSBC has a real nice adjustable prop valve. FineLines can make you pretty much whatever lines you need, even in stainless!
i think that if you are pulling thru the lights at stall you should at least be using line loc. depending on your transmission and stall speed a trans brake may be in order.
bias the brakes front to rear with the adjustable prop valve so the car stops hard and level, don't try to bias to keep it in the lights or you might get a suprize at the long end of the track!
