I've stopped my N/SS cars with a bolt in the linkage. Close to 1000 passes stopped with the bolt. Been pretty succesful. Never broken a stock cable. Learn it and you can stay on the index by doing the weather. I've slowed anywhere from .10 to .70

Same here nine years of using the stop and never broke a cable or had any problems. I did notice however that stop settings ( i e turns) are a lot more sensitive on my 950 than they were on my 750. Slowing down seven to eight tenths on average ( 10.70s to 11.50 )

A lot of guys on the west coast use the ET Genie as it has been around for awhile or the Dedenbear mechanical disc stops. I see more of the disc stuff on faster cars running in classes like B/Gas and ET Genie on slower cars.

I agree the stop should be before the cable.

As for launching in 2nd gear. I can see a torquey big block only slowing down a couple tenths at best.
