How do you tip guys launch? E-Brake, power brake? I've tried power braking to around 2000-2300 rpm.. Any thoughts?

left foot brake and launch at 4000rpm ...

been told not to do it too often otherwise i'll be needing a new torque converter very soon (and in that case i'll get the upgraded one from evoms)

So it's safest to just kick it down to first and mash the gas huh? Which TC do you recommend and how much is it?

Evom's is the only one I know of that is available. I just checked a price myself and it is $1,695 plus a heavy core charge (that you'll get back w/the return of your old unit.) I think the total is like $4,200.00 w/core??? Check their website at evoms.com
