Default Converter, Tuning, Tires? WTH?

Okay I have a PY3600E and today I tried to brake stall past 2k which I have never done before.

My car has stock tuning and stock F1's -- While break stalling when I get around 2400-2500 rpm the tires broke loose, I was no where near 3600.

I was under the impression you could brake stall to close to 3600 before tires would break loose.

What's wrong or am incorrect or something.

Wrong, your tires will break loose when the amount of power to them exceeds the available traction.

You don't test stall by brake torquing.

Try launching with some sticky tires and see how high the revs flash up to. That will be pretty close. Or just launch in 2nd if you've got a 2000+.
