Pro Vs Full Trans Brake?
I am looking to do some .400 tree racing (ss/sg) with a 3600 lb, big block, p/g, chevlle. BTE 1.80 straight cut 5500 stall 5:29 gear, 15/33.5 tire. I need to pick the cars reaction time up. Was wondering if anyone has some info on what I might pick up by going to a pro brake.

Re: Pro Vs Full Trans Brake?
In my supergas car, I went from an ATI bracket brake to a Hipster and picked up about .030...you can also shim out the solenoid and get a little....

With the hipster do you have to hold down the button to back up. And does anyone make one that you don't have to.

The difference for me between a Coan Standard and Pro brake was about .020.

Re: Pro Vs Full Trans Brake?
Most pro treeT-brakes require the solinoid to be activated to backup and that includes the Hipster. ATI had an internal solinoid style valve body as well as an external solinoid style valve body and both were faster than the average bracket style brake and neither of those two needed the solinoid activated for reverse.

Re: Pro Vs Full Trans Brake?
If the brake change doesn't work put a deeper low gear in it. Make sure you have all the Rev passage dump holes sized right (large) & you have better (stiffer) rev piston springs.
Do you do your own transmisssion work?
