Hey guys, I don't know if all of you have seen the June issues of "Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords" and "5.0 mustangs and super fords". Both magazines have articles in them discussing how to put a line lock on a 2001 gt mustang.

"MM&FF" used a single hurst line lock kit that was installed between the ABS module and the master cylinder. They didn't specify whether or not they did a standard brake bleed or a back bleed. I assumed they did the standard method for bleeding brakes. They were able to do a burnout just fine with this method as long as the traction control was off ( traction control is an option for the 2001 mustang ). The cost of this method for all of the parts is about $160.00 (hurst line lock kit, hurst t-handle with command switch, and brake line kit with all necessary fittings) This is if you buy everything through JEG'S or SUMMIT.

"5.0 mustangs & super fords" used Paul's High performance line lock kit which consists of two hurst line lock solenoids. They installed one line lock solenoid for each front wheel. In their way of doing it, they put the solenoids after the ABS module and then did a standard brake bleed. They also talked about how doing the standard method of installing a line lock (just after the master cylinder but before the ABS module) would confuse the heck out of the ABS module. But as you can see in the "MM&FF" method, they didn't have any problems. The cost for this kit is about $300.00 or more through PHP, BUT if you buy the parts that are in the PHP kit separately like through JEG'S or SUMMIT everything is about $280.00.

So, what I'm trying to get at here is:
Who's right?
Who's wrong?
Do both methods work fine?
Is the standard method of installing a line lock okay with the ABS?

PLEASE HELP!
