Default Simple Stall Question

One thing i have wondered, say with a 3600 stall, do you need to apply the breaks when your at a stop light or once you come to a stop does the car just idle and not move due to the stall?

Actually it will have an effect but it is very minimal. One thing I noticed when I did my stall is when going up small inclines your car will not roll forward.

For example, when I pull in my garage I have to give it some gas to get it moving where before the stall I did not.

I have a yank 4k stall and it barely rolls. any sort of incline and it won't roll at all but flat ground and it barely rolls. I am on a 245 tire with 30 psi though DD, when the slicks are on anything under like 18ish lbs it won't roll, so maybe if you had some nice wide tires it would roll even less, just a thought.

Hahah thats definitely not the reason, i was just hoping it as a bonus because it gets old holding my foot to the floor at stoplights and sitting there for 4 or 5 minutes

Man, I thought I was LAZY!! And where are there lights that long??

I got a PT4000 and on anything resembling an incline and it won't roll with my foot off the brake. Its funny when pulling out of tight/slow areas it sounds and feels like its a stick shift, the thing is so loose.
