A couple of years ago,I asked Paul at Turbo Action (through Tony aka Quicktree) about using my J converter with a brake.He checked the serial number on it and said "you have a model with an aluminum stator,absolutely do not use it with a brake"
So from the man himself,no. 
thats kinda funny when I ordered my converter from Paul him self he asked why I wanted a steel stator said it wasn't needed for a brake but I ordered it anyway.
Kind'a gives a person somthing to ponder,,,same person,,two answers. 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

totally depends on the hp/torque and combo. if I were going to use a tbrake I would order the steel stator just to be on the safe side like Woody did. even though it may not need it. nice try though.

Hi Tony!, It has been a while,the old J is still holding up well! The Challenger has been through a lot of changes over the last couple years,I don't know where it was at when I talked to you! I used to run a 440 and ran 10.80's or so,last year I put a stroker smallblock in it.So far, 10.21@ 132.We have a little tuning to go yet. The old J converter and 440 are going into the new car I'm putting together for my wife. Thanks for asking! Keith

Great info guys. Thank you for all of the replies!
If mine breaks using an aluminum stator, I will report back in and let you guys know.
If it breaks, it will most likely be because it rolled a sprag. That's what usually breaks them. But since the sprags have become more reliable, it doesn't happen as often.
Since I use a spragless converter, I don't even worry about it.
Chris..
