10 psi? That with tubes inside? If not, I can't imagine the body sway...I know what anything less than 14 psi feels like on top at my lowly 109 mph without tubes...it's a handful. WJ

No, thats what the trans brake is for!! you hit the light, push the trans brake, floor it, the car will rev to the converter, then stay there till the button on the brake is let off. my car has a 3600, she stalls on the t-brake (floored) at about 3,800-4000. thats what the t-brake is for.
try it. next time the car is out, hold the t-brake, floor it and look at your tac it will be in the 3400-3800 range.
people put a 2 step in with a trans brake because some cars can hook with a large stall, or what not. try it, you'll see. that right there would probably put you into the 11's.
