Transbrakes for 4l80e?
Trying to order a 4l80e transbrake Valvebody. Anyone have one and have reviews or input?
Or have one they want to sell? I only know of the 3 companies that do/did offer one keeping electronic shift.
I want one that retains Automatic/Electronic trans control. It doesn't have to SHIFT automatically when using the brake, just retain normal electronic capability in D3 and D4.
I was on the phone with the first 2 guys earlier today.
CK- Quit making them. People weren't following directions and F** **** up, more than likely blaming the company. They were $600
Extreme automatics- Don't offer anything but a Full manual one anymore. Full billet VB >$895
Jakes has the D3 Brake. $1,015. Way out of price range IMO. Having to activate a switch for reverse , unless you wire it to the reverse lights is a bit odd but easily overcome. I don't know of any reviews on them. I only heard its not a super quick releasing brake. I don't know anything about that or if its true. I haven't spoke with them since summer.
Many guys have hydroboost brakes, yes, I do too.. I blow through them still with over a 8 lb launch in 4wd. I don't have giant truck brakes. I want to get my 60 foots less than a 1.45 with better consistency and not push through the brakes. I spray an 80 shot right out of the hole to help the turbo spool and get the tank moving. 4560lb 4wd Blazer with me in it. It would be nice to couple the Nitrous activation with the Transbrake switch and have a better launch in theory. The 4wd doesn't do squat on a sticky track except assist in the brakes holding me there at the start.
Not that it matters but the trans is already fully built and has the bleed hole in the Direct drum already, because I was anticipating adding a brake at a later time.
Reviews or suggestions please.
