i would think you could use the same line lock that the cars use, but maybe you'd have to bend your own lines for it since things are in different places on the truck as on the fbod.

Ya'll are thinking of a trans brake. The trans brake locks the trans in drive and reverse. When the light turns green hit the swicth and BAAM your in drive. You are able to leave at full stall and really hard. The good ol' 4L60E would probably split in two.
A line lock is a device, a electric solenoid, that you install inline of your front brake line. You hit the brakes and hit a switch. It holds pressure on the front brake lines and then all you have to do is stand on it. No power braking or rolling. However, I am thinking you could intall it on the back brakes. Hit the switch to block the fluid pressure to the back brakes and then stand on it. I hate to think of anything inline with my front brakes, at least on a daily driver.
The ATI was great but, it was getting troublesome. I was seeing 15 to 16 lbs of boost. At that boost level it would surge at low rpms and throw the belt anytime you would hit the rev limiter (because of the pulley size). However, don't worry I have something else in mind.

I loved every second of it. It became to impractical for the street. I would stand on it and blow the tires off at 80, I am talking just kill the tires.
No secrets, don't believe in them. I will have a N20 setup. I plan to have two stages, so I can dial in what power level I want. I hope I will not get greedy with this setup.
My blower will still be on the street. It will be on a white single cab, BEWARE!
