Trans brake slow to release...
The problem is with my buddies car."70 Challenger, 500" BB, 727 torqueflite with pro brake. When bottom bulb racing no matter how soon I let go the best bulb has been .180. Oh also this tranny is new. His old one wasn't like this but it had a bracket brake. I know its not me cause I can't stop going red in my car. Any ideas?

No, not normally. Does it release slow all the time? There is no delay box right. If there is a box, it's in the no delay mode? I ran 10 gauge wire to mine because that is what was on the solenoid. So I made sure he rest was 10 gauge. I would try bypassing the switch by just holding the wires together and see if it releases as soon as the wires separate.( Engine off) You should be able to hear it release.

Hopefully the trans guy knows what he was doing, but I will say the Pro brake the hole that gets drilled in the case is alot bigger. So slow fluid release...could cause slow reaction I would think... :?:

I'd check the switch first.
Do this easy test.
Hook it up to a voltmeter or test light, release it and see if the light or voltage drops as soon as you release the button.
