Converter. Trans brake questions.

I'm really late to this thread.... but the brake will find ANY weak link in your drive train for you.

You had also asked how it works driving around town with a high stall...my car has an 8" converter that stalls at ~5000. Driving around town you would never know it. It takes a little more RPM to get the car moving (1500 ish RPM), and it does feel a little softer under light acceleration (normal driving)... the only time you really know it is there is if you mat the gas, then it jumps straight to 5k (no matter what gear I'm in). I hope that helps.

For me, I've thought about switching to a T-brake, but only for the reaction time consistency...then again, I've been foot braking for so long it would probably mess me up, lol. My car seems to run the fastest leaving at ~ 2k RPM, but I also know my brakes can't hold the car much past 3k at the starting line.
