Trans brake users....

How many pounds of boost/rpm are you able to launch at off the brake? With what tires/ suspension mods?

Surprisingly a 26x11.50 slick fit under the TTA (Mounted on a 15x8 Prostars) car has a Spohn adjustable torque arm, lakewood 90/10 front struts with no swaybar, battery moved to back, about 125 pounds have been removed from the front. Car lightened around 250#s, so I think it weighs at or a little over 3200.

All depends on track conditions. 10lbs most of the time if stars are right 15lbs.

There is a local car that runs high 10.4's that I wouldn't mind running. Can you believe there is a Honda Del-Sol running that quick!!

I need to mess with the TTA at the track. I had the same tires on my Dart and it was a 365" small block with a steel flywheel and 3.91 gears with a richmond 5 speed (super low 1'st gear... too low) and you could throw the kitchen sink at it off the line. 6000 rpm clutch dumps an not a hint of worry about spinning at the track. It's a low 11 second car though, and not as powerful as the TTA, but I'm gonna guess that the hit off the line is just as tough as a faster turbo car.

I have launched my car probably a dozen times or more with a Stage-Rite manual trans brake at 12psi on MT DR's 255/50-R16 inflated to 15psi...on 100% stock original suspension...1.53 60ft and ZERO spin.
