Re: Footbrake quicker than transbrake
Don't forget the rollout difference when comparing your ET's.
If the transbrake launch is picking the fronts straight up out of the beams rather than getting the run at it rolling out, it could be a .03-.05 difference. |

Re: Footbrake quicker than transbrake
The Carter carburetor in the AMX does not have enough acclerator pump shot to foot brake. That could be a problem in other applications, making the transbrake faster.

Re: Footbrake quicker than transbrake
I was told about one variable that makes sense. A footbrake trans can be quicker than a transbrake trans because the transbrake requires a higher line pressure. That would create a slight parasitic HP loss throughout the run. I haven't run a brake even years ago in brackets, but it seems like a footbrake carb set-up can be more finely tuned.
