Video of us testing out the transbrake!
Well my boost controller is set to about 9 or 10 psi, so it might make more still!
Im guessing the car will spin with the old converter we got about 4 psi and cut a 1.37 60, so i will be using a 2 step along with it
Thanks chris

In most FI applications, I'd take the Pro Flo XT over any other "off the shelf" intake. I would ditch my ported FAST90 in a second if I could fit it without cutting my **** all up.
What he is saying is that the converter is making boost because it is too loose. If you took that converter to the track, you'll find that you will blow right threw it up top and have poor MPH. As they tighten them up, it'll be harder to build boost but will work much better out the back.
no i run a vic jr port matched now, but my porter seems to think a sheet metal style will gain me some power over what i have.. last year at 3250lb and 317 heads and 370 cube on 20 psi car went 5.54 at 128. swaped to bigger 235 head now, thats why i was wondering about it..
I hold the foot brake pretty hard and make sure I have clear space in front of me. If the pits are too tight I'll go to a open area.

Agreed. Tbrake/2 step timing and fueling should be tested and correct before you get to the line.

That car looks sick. I think what that one guy meant is that it's not a good idea to get on the trans brake and then let off the gas to bring it back to idle. I'm no trans expert and wouldn't be able to tell you the harm it can cause or if it's even true or not, but it's just always been my understanding that when you engage the transbrake you need to launch it
you have a temp sender in your converter?
exactly, its hard on the stator in the converter, that's not speculation that's fact. Plus you're cooking the fluid in the converter, I don't care what you THINK the fluid temp is in the cooler or return line, it's a lot higher in the converter.
see above, maybe my original post was a little harsh, but it's still not good practice
And you're the guy who "has a clue" and tests his transbrake in the pits with his car on the ground

you do realize how long some setups have to sit on the converter to spool right? look at some pulling truck vids with large singles once.....
