Hello all,

I'm curious if any A-body bracket racers on here are using starting line enhancers. I'd like to see how you modified your accelerator pedal, throttle linkage (morse cable?) and throttle linkage bracket/solenoid mounting on the engine intake. Most of what I have seen online is for dragster applications, not door cars. Thanks in advance.

It's an air actuated device that allows the driver to put the accelerator to the floor and maintain an idle condition on the engine. Once the trans brake button is released, the engine goes wide open at launch. It simplifies the starting line procedure and doesn't require the engine to bang off the rev limiter until the car launches.

Oh, nice. That sounds like a good product.
Thanks
 
That was the rage about 35 years ago. It's not as in vogue as it used to be. It can be a hassle always having to have a bottle/s of Co2 around to operate it.

Would you care to share a little or a lot about your car ?
I'm sure many would appreciate it (pictures please)
Thank you.
 
I run one and it was a game changer for me when I put it on. My lights really got better when I no longer had to worry about flooring the gas pedal after reacting to the top bulb. I will look for pictures and post them if I have them. If I don't, I will take some when I put my engine in over the winter.

It’s in the floor to the left of my seat and the brake pedal is about 1 foot ahead of it. It needs moved but that’s another thing on the “to do” list.
 
I had one on my car for a little over a year while I tried top bulb racing before I came to the conclusion I have 2 feet for a reason. With that said I used the Biondo starting line one. I used my stock throttle cable. What I did was use a piece of angle iron and bolted it to the startling line enhancer that I attached the cable to. These are the only pictures I took hope it helps.

That’s a pretty nifty way of doing it
