Default Packing the tires with a 4L60E with a Transbrake

I thought you guys might appreciate this video of the little lady launching her Camaro off the transbrake. And they say the 4L60E can't handle it. We had some traction issues early on, but after leaning on Madman, she packed the tires on the Hoosier radials and carried it on out with a 1.50 on the back tires.

It's a Rossler T-Brake in a "Built" Circle D 4L60E and it works!

Nice launch, I only hope to have one someday like that. What are you using for your two step?

It's a plug and play Lingenfelter 2-step and man it's an easy install. I highly recommend it.

I had the first one Carl put in the 4l60E
This is the third year on it and have not broken any hard parts.
The thread I made when I installed it is in the stickies.

Thanks guys!

That tire is a 30x10.5 Hoosier slick. We also run a set of 28x10.5Ws depending on which track we are at.

We are running the Madman front travel limiters, Madman LCAs,Madman Manual rack,Madman SYA bars, and Madman recommended AFCO DAs all the way around.

We run the BMR Extreme Duty Anti-roll bar and a BMR full length TA with the relocation front bracket. We are also running 4.11 gears and a Circle D 8" converter.

For a launch that high, it sure was straight and settled nicely. I do believe she knows how to drive. Nice job to everyone involved.
