Yep, with the t-brake go up to the true stall of the converter and let go of the switch and hold on <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

So 3600 stall + 150 shot out of the hole + t-brake = serious holeshot? Cool <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> hehehehe

Default Question about transbrake and stall speed

It seems I can only bring my rpm up to about stall speed at the line. Is the tranny limited somehow to the converter stall speed when using a trans brake?

Yes. If you have 4000 stall the t-brake should only go to 4000.

Is that where you should launch a car (i.e. 100% of stall speed)? Just got mine, haven't used it yet, and frankly don't know jack about that other than they are fun. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
