    85 Cutty 15x8, 4.5" B.S. 275/60/15????

    Okay so my experience with this set up was barely or not successful.. The BS was too much (no pun intended) my drivers side exhaust was in the way very badly so I had to cut it short and I was still in the frame quite a bit. I purchased 3/4" spacers that kept me safely away from the frame and...

    Need Some Feedback on Line Lock/Roll or Stage Control

    I apologize for anything I've said that is misleading, I'm trying, emphasis on trying to keep an open mind. I appreciate everyone trying to help, sharing experience, and giving advice. It really does help out a lot. I am far from making a decision on what I will do. I would like to find a...

    Need Some Feedback on Line Lock/Roll or Stage Control

    I am not familiar with the MSD Ignition system, or line lock obviously. I'll try to do my homework on it but feel to give some detail about it and or advice. I appreciate it. The class I was previously running is strictly footbrake. The class I will have to run now is button friendly unless it's...

    Need Some Feedback on Line Lock/Roll or Stage Control

    I accept it completely, and I appreciate the advice given. I am trying to find an in expensive way to run something similar to a transbrake and this seems to be the most common way and it sounds like it is a better suite for a street car anyways. With all do respect I have no care in the world...

    Need Some Feedback on Line Lock/Roll or Stage Control

    Yes I am aware of what a line lock is SUPPOSED to be and normally used for. This is a car that I drive to the track and race. Due to the class times regulations I will be running with cars cutting good lights on a button. The reputable people that I have talked to do not recommend putting a...

    Need Some Feedback on Line Lock/Roll or Stage Control

    I'm not exactly an artist but I heard about a someone who had tried this out, would something like this make sense to work? I highlighted the wires for less confusion.

    Need Some Feedback on Line Lock/Roll or Stage Control

    I have yet to try it honestly I usually just stall at 2000 to make sure I don't break passed 2500 and it's not uncommon for a stall converter to be a couple hundred rpm's shy of what they are supposed to be.

    Need Some Feedback on Line Lock/Roll or Stage Control

    Yeah I pretty much just want to use the line lock as a transbrake, the reputable transbrake people that I have talked to don't advise me putting one in with a 700r. If I choose to go this rout I would probably run a 2 step limiter at 2000 or 2500 I don't know how the front brakes would hold up...

    maybe going to the track soon..

    I understand this is an older post but I had almost the same set up on my 85 Cutty a couple of years ago. sbc 350, .30 over, edelbrock 600, 96 vortec heads, 268 extreme energy cam, a very strong 700r that I'm still running, with 3.73's; I ran my best times with 12psi in my rear tires (slicks)...

    Need Some Feedback on Line Lock/Roll or Stage Control

    Hi! I have been looking into putting a line lock on my Cutlass but I don't know much about them nor do I have any experience with one. I race at a couple of local tracks and now the times for each of the classes have changed (this is bracket racing) and I now have to run the pro class with cars...

    Hi I'm new to this so please don't run me off! I'm putting some 1980 z28 N90 wheels on my 85 Cutlass I have heard that it is possible and impossible to put 275/60/15's in the back without something rubbing, the wheel size is 15x7 I believe with 4.25 BS. Any info helps out greatly and pics DON'T...
