boost question

just curious has anyone tried an all wheel line lock yet?
am thinking about doing it before i sell my truck.
Also what is the best suspension combo right now since the turbo build i take 60 foot to build boost and then it overloads the tires any help?

Line lock is to lock the fronts and leave the rears to spin freely, to lock all wheels you might as well just stomp on the middle pedal hadn't you

Stall convertor to build boost at the line, the turbo guys seem to go for 3000 stall or higher

1 Why do you want a All wheel lock. Yes you can do it but the engine will over power the brakes. 2 hard on the converter will boil the trans in seconds. the trans one time at 210F will kill it in 10 seconds or less

If it takes 60ft to get the boost go to a smaller AR housing on the hot side.

The suspension I don't know. what is it gen1 or gen2?.

I have a gen1. lowering it help alot. take the half leaf and one hole leaf out that work for me. and leave the traction bar. I run 4link on the outside of the frame now and theres nothing better then that.
