For the burnout, it activates the line lock and sets aux limiter at 7000rpm and for the launch it activates transbrake, line lock, and 7k limiter.

Wow, I'm really surprised by the amount of people who don't know what a transbrake looks like. You guys should go to the drags more often.

The transmission he speaks of is a TH400 Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic transmission with what appears to be a full-manual valve body, and the apparant transbrake. I'm thinking he has a ratchet-type shifter, but I could be mistaken. For those who don't know, this is an old General Motors transmission used in many of it's vehicles, and continues to be a popular(and rightly so...)transmission choice for drag-racing.
