Sounds like you're referring to a trans brake. That requires internal trans modifications separate from just putting in a higher stall TC.

I agree.

With converters of 3500 stall or less, after a few days worth of driving you'll be used to it. At least that was my experiance.

I would only get one of those if you plan on being at the track. It is a limited use thing and if anyone drives your car they could easily wreck it by accidently pushing the button or get pissed off after they keep putting it in R and nothing happens.
