Making boost is making power... You gotta give it enough gas to make the boost, spin the tires or push though the brakes. You can't make boost with out making power If your worried about braking the tranny, then don't brake boost it hard. But you can't say it won't make boost when when you won't give it enough gas to do it!

well... took the truck out tonight to do the brake stalling to see if it does anything different with more throttle

the brakes held good, went pretty much full throttle and the boost gauge maybe moved to about .10 lbs of boost.. will that help my launch? lol my RPMS don't go above barely 1500RPM, I need it to be at at least 2k RPM to get any boost (just watching it while driving)
