Line Lock questions

I just put a Moroso line lock on my car. It seems to work fine. Put it between the master cylinder and the proportioning valve. So I pump the brakes, flip the switch, and let off the brake pedal. It locks the front brakes. I do my burnout and flip the switch off, but the front brakes dont release. I have to stab the brake pedal to release them. Is this normal? Thats going to be kinda tricky rolling out of the burnout. I didnt think I had it backwards. Just wondering how all of your line locks work.

Thanks.

It needs to be after the proportioning (combination) valve to pass a tech inspection. That could be why it's not working properly.

Hum, I dont see how that could work out. All of SLP and Thunder Racing kits go between, seeing its a ABS car. I thought they had it that way so that the ABS control wouldnt freak out. One of my friends has the SLP kit (basicly the same except pre bent lines as I bent my own) and his doesnt do this.

Thanks for your imput!

I was looking at Brady's website last night, and saw he has the same unit I do. He had his plumbed in opposite as I do. That might be it. Ill give that a try and see.
