[[ [/b]b][/[b]b]quote=W.I.N. Racing]Things to investigate - Converter anti ballooning plate. 👍 - a bleed hole in the front Drum (facilitates quicker releases) I assume this can be done when the brake is installed? Nope, Need to disassemble the trans Drill the drum. - Good quick release Brake Button do you normally put this on the steering wheel? I normally do but to each their own... - Transmission shield👍 - Sprag (doesn't have to be a bolt in but make sure its in perfect condition)👍 - Move Vent front Pump cover to tail housing. will need to check - Good front yoke - Front Planetary set - likes to rip out the spline. no idea… any more details on this ? Typically the planet cage is made from aluminum, I used to rip them out 30 yrs ago when raced with 727's. They were not designed for the abuse they are given in race applications...There are Steel alternatives Thats my  [/quote]

I second what everyone says.
As far as a button goes, I have mine on the steering wheel, but know others prefer it mounted elsewhere away from the wheel.
I 3rd on all the recommendations. Also with the transbrake, I believe most requires you to hold the button to use reverse So if may make driving on the street a pain

It's the other way round, street gears are hard tempered and brittle. Pro gears are soft and wear out quick. https://www.dragzine.com/news/do-you-need-street-gears-or-pro-gears/

Would I benefit from a transbrake?
I currently leave off idle.
I push through my brakes too easily
It is a Procharger car on I have zero boost at idle and I assume I could bring up the rpm’s with a brake

Looks like you need a looser converter by looking at your 60ft . , then see what a trans brake would do, your ET is WAY better than what your 60ft shows.
