    Correct, but I did fail to mention you have to plumb it backwards ie inlet becomes outlet otherwise psi will still be applied regardless due to the way the valve is designed or how the TCI/jegs is anyway, the Hurst,Moroso,Biondo valves may or may not be the same way would need to call tech and verify. I wouldn't tell them what your doing just ask if their lock will allow fluid to be pushed thru when the lock is activated if they yes it will go thru but not back you will need to switch the inlet and outlet

    The line lock is just a solenoid activated valve. When you activate it, it holds pressure in the front brake line. You step on the brake, hold the switch, release the brake pedal. Now pressure is held in the front brakes, but the rears release normally. As long as you hold the switch, the front brakes will be locked. Let go of the switch in the middle of your burnout and the car will start to roll forward. That's how it is meant to be used anyway.

    If I understand correctly, you want to use it backwards to block fluid flow to the rear brakes so the brake pedal only controls the front brakes. Now you need to use both feet and hold the switch to do a burnout. Not sure I understand the benefit of that at all. I use a spring loaded momentary switch on the shifter handle. Want to do a rolling burnout?, step on the brake, hold the switch, let go of the brake, get them spinning and let go of the switch, now you have both front and rear brakes to control the car. At the track, you want to do a stationary burnout.

    It looks like to me it can be done both ways with the Hurst unit, http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/huu-1745000(2)1.pdf

    I agree with ya on the "standard front" install method but I don't mind using both feet for stationary burnouts at the track.
    Did not want to see the wires coming up my steering column to use the momentary switch. That's why I'm going to use a lighted toggle switch.
    The other major factor was I did not want to hack up all my new stainless lines installing this on the front brakes. Tieing into the rear line just looked so much easier then reworking the fronts.

    Good info here, the Hurst unit has install methods for both front and rear. No need to plumb backwards.

    Pic of my setup, lock is plumbed backwards, and confirmed its correct operation when bleeding the braked absolutely no psi goes to the rear when engaged.
