Default Is a Trans Brake worth it?

I have a level 5 built FLT and I am debating on a Trans brake my car will see the track MAYBE 12 times a year I have a 3800 stall in it right now but im ALWAYS wanting more want those tires up! haha the car is driven on the streets mostly and some mild road trips so I was just wanting some feedback from guys that have it positive things/negative things...

Thanks Mike

A trans Brake will only go up to what the converter allows for slip, also you NEED to monitor the fluid temps and doing earlier serivce intervals if you plan on using it

If you would like to put a brake in your trans, give us a call. We have done a few of the Rossler brakes and buy them direct. Feel free to give us a call to discuss your situation. Vince
