It's not good on the forward clutches, theres my answer.

And he doesn't want any information on how to make his car so it'll downshift without power braking, and without losing time, (such as building the trans right and tuning it properly)so I deleted all my suggestions. And thats all I have to say.

I run 3.73's so that makes a big difference when you need to drop down gears.
My 2nd gear is the bad boy. 25 - 60, all power band.
