i dont have to worry about that. turbos are for the guys who cant handle the torque of a blower or a stroker

Good info above, thanks guys!
Do I understand correctly that a transbrake cannot be used on a 4L60 series transmission?

IIRC a direct flame will cook the blades and housing of turbo's over time. They can handle heat of course as we've all seen turbo's glow but the temperatures from a direct flame is more than what turbo's were designed for. For turbo's that have coatings on the blades it will cause it to crack which will give a slight imbalance to the wheel and screw up your bearings.
