Default Install a line lock? yes or no

I am about to redo the brake system of my 2002 Z06. I am doing pads rotors, lines, SS pistons speed bleeders and fluid. I also have a RSD line lock kit that I got in case I take the car to the strip. I have not taken yet and very well might get shown the door after the 1st run due to no roll bar. The question is should I install the line lock or not? Will it affect the use of the brakes in any way, just being installed inline.

They fail, and sometimes they fail closed, dragging or locking up the brakes. Given they are that screwy, I would never put one on a roadrace car. Just soak the rears well, dump the clutch in 2nd and immediately cover the brakes just hard enough to hold it. Oh yeah.. drag racing is lame

Haha! I have to say also that since I started road courses last year, my desire to return to the drag strip really doesn't exist.
