Why does the TH350 let the car move more than a PG on the brake? Is there anything you can do to get rid of that issue? I need to put my car on the brake next season with a TH350 to get it out of the hole with the cam and converter we are running...

You shouldn't use the line-lock to stage, it's only used for your burn-out. Roll through the water box, set the line lock and do your burn out. I start in low 2 and let the trans shift, then count to 3 and release the line-lock.

Stage with your normal brake and stage shallow, then set the trans-brake. Mine doesn't move at all, but if it did, I'd still be in stage mode. When it's time to go, just release the trans-brake and you're on your way.

BTW, San Antonio Raceway is IHRA sanctioned and foot-brake means just that in competition. No trans-brakes or electronically switched aides allowed.
