AGAIN , LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS STATED GET A GOOD COOLER AND A DEEP PAN. I HAVE MY TRANS BRAKE SET AT 4200 RPM WITH MY 4600 STALL. I LIKE TO HAVE A SHORT RUN AT THE FLASH. AS FOR HOW LONG TO STAY ON THE T-BRAKE? I TRY TO STAGE LATE AND AS SOON AS MY 2ND BEAM IT LIT, I AM BOUNCING OFF MY CHIP. BUT I ALSO CHANGE MY FLUID EVERY TEN RUNS, NO MATTER WHAT, IT IS CHEAP INSURANCE. I HOPE THIS HELPS, GOOD LUCK
