The effects of brake torqueing??
Ok i drive a 5at. And i have been brake torqueing alot. I have brake torqued countless times trying to get the perfect launch down for a 5at, and i have brake torqued alot while racing my friends. I was just wondering is brake torqueing harmful to your tranny or brakes at all? What are the effects of brake torqueing? Some ppl tell me neutral dropping is really bad for your tranny (which i never do), while brake torqueing is fine. And some people tell me both are bad. So which is tru?? Should i stop??

Stop...nah. Progress up to 4k full throttle neutral drops and see how you far can get before you're visiting Mr. Transmssion.
Seriously, neither are good for your transmission.

think of dropping the clutch at higher rpms, it jerks/burns the **** out of ur tires.
practice ur neutral drops and brake torqueing on a loaner... thats what i did when the 6mt had to go in, to be honest... the 5at wasnt too bad, but not as fun

It hurts your torque converter more then your transmission. This is why they make high stall torque converters so you can stall the car up to 2500+ RPMs and its like an automatic dropping the clutch. Its also going to shock the drivetrain alittle, but the brakes won't see much wear and tear - its harder on them just emergency stopping.
In my experiences with brake torquing it only helped me .1 seconds, and sometimes I ran the same time just startting from idle. Everytime I'm at the track I do torque to like 800RPMs just so the reation is a bit quicker.

Would high stall torque converters be able to handle all the wear and tear of brake torqueing?? or its still bad for it?? I been brake torqueing alot, haven't noticed anything wrong yet, but im afraid.
