Forcing the 80e into 3rd I will hopefully be able to make a lot more boost on the foot brake@ launch. Basically making a "farmers transbrake".

I ran into similar problems with my old setup last year. I just had one 46 mm Precision gate, and with the 7 psi spring in it, it would settle out at around 15 psi...lol. I changed the orientation of the gate a bit, and moved up to a 60 mm Turbosmart gate, and it's better, but still not perfect. 7 lb spring settles out around 9-10 psi....but that's livable.

I've seen the hillbilly transbrake via Denmah on 'Tech. Never tried it though, as my hydroboost and 2 step let me build more than enough to shred the Mickeys from a dig. Bigger front tires might let you hold it more before it pushes?

That's pretty generous! Our local track...you run too fast...you're gone.
