I would think so because they allow you to set your rpm's higher and launch at those high rpm's . Rather than foot braking it and having to stay at a low rpm to not spin the tires

it will as long as it hooks my car 60 foots 1.48 off the foot and 1.39 on the brake but it will hit the tire alot harder on the brake and make sure you have a good converter because the brake will screw a junk converter up

IMO, trans brakes are all about consistency. It's essentially used for better reaction times at launch by being able to repeat the same RPM every time which is hard to do with your foot. Releasing a button takes less concentration,you can focus on the launch. Might help with ET since you leave the line at a higher RPM. Your chassis will load differently.

3,500 RPM stall seems a tad low for a trans brake application though, no?
