Trans brake 350 turbo

I think what he means is that the trans brake is not engaging quick enough. I think this problem is kind of inherant of 350's. I've ran a couple of them. This is how I cured the problem. When bumping in with the brake pedal engage the transbrake each time you take a bump. In other words, transbrake and footbrake at the same time, each bump. This solved the problem for me, however I was running no-box and didn't have any delay. Delay would make it a little tougher to do. A throttle stop would make it darn near impossible. If the piston in your transbrake silenoid is adjustable, lengthening it would also help (once too long the car will back up). Also could try bringing you RPM up when staging.
