When you pick up the front end enough to loose traction on the front wheels and basically bounce back and forth as the fronts hook and release. Its a pretty violent experience. It will probably just spin on the street, but when it hooks on the track youll know it.

I plan on leaving off the transbreak at around 3500-4000 at about 8-10psi 95% of that will be on the street so need some good tires.

My dodge use to do this real bad, added straps and solved the bounce but still spins, but I am leaving at about 20psi and spraying it right outa the hole so that might have something to do with it lol.

I dont think youll need a trans brake unless you already have it. My truck bucked pretty bad til I strapped the front down. I'm not making enough steam yet for cal-tracs on the rear haha.

You think my breaks will hold 10psi launchs on slicks?

4wd with hydroboost held my setup at 1000rwhp+

caltracs will greatly help with axle wrap and bucking
