How high can you footbrake your engine against torque converter/brakes? At what RPM does your wheels break loose?

 

Mine does it at 1800RPM...

 

I mean I begin to lose traction at 1800, not do a burnout like on my pic...

 

never looked hard but i think it flirts with around 1,500 rpm, its not high at all, i need a torque converter.

 

2400 w/POS G.E.R. converter......

 

About 4000 rpm but my converter stalls on the transbrake at 5700.

 

That varies from engine to engine, car to car, tranny to tranny - combo to combo.

I can't foot-brake the Camaro above 2100, but with the park brake on first, I can get it to 2300. I can hold the '57 at 3000, foot brake and just the primaries. But the converter will stall to 3500 if I have the park brake on and open the secondaries. More cam and it probably won't stall that high (but, maybe it would...).

 

I can hold mine at about 3000... any more than that the car moves or the wheels spin.

 

I was curious.....I can hold 2200 to 2300 RPM with foot brake and 3500 RPM with foot brake and emergency brake. Looks like I am going to need to do the proportioning valve trick.

 

mine was stock and the wheels would spin at like 1400rpms...

 

6250, then it hits the limiter...

OOOOH in an auto!

 

car @ 2600 truck at 4900 with old convertor 5000 with new convertor only t-brake it at 3600 though

 

About 2300 rpm, standing on the brakes. With my supercharged BB engine/tight torque converter/lots of traction combo, this thing wants to GO. I could never break the rear tires loose with the brakes on, unless I used the line lock and/or the rear tires are in water. It has so much low end torque, when cruising on the street, I just leave it in third gear all the time (manual valve body).

 

oh about 2800-2900 that all

 

I have a Yank ss3600 converter it will go 3100 N/A and 4025 with a 200 shot.
