Throttle Stop Question

rob7181 · 07-21-2011, 08:22 AM

I have made a couple for dominators and have slowed my car up as much as 5 tenths. A couple of buddies are using the EZPLATE system to slow their cars up. Its a little pricey but, evidently very adjustable.

Put some weight in and shift it way early

I'm in the same situation running 10.7x and looking to set up for HR & S/ST. Are you guys suggesting to use weight or mechanical stop just because it's a cheap way or are throttle stops not consistent when only taking out 2 tenths?
I already have a Mega 85 and just need a stop, also looking for your suggestions.

Weight is not only cheap it's pretty predictable the solid stop also is inexpensive and they do work. Their only achellies heel is you can't shut them off if the track gets slick. When you get it close +/-.02 you can adjust that with the oil level but you got to be careful you don't want to overfill it and get the oil foaming 1/2 qt one way or the other will provide you with some adjustment. get a couple of spare filters.

I'm in a similar situation and thinking of trying the ez-plate system. I've found that my car is not quite as predictable as I would like only killing 3 to 4 tenths. The stop is only activating for a few fractions of a second so not much variance there.
