Power breaking
I have an AT car and I have used "power breaking" to launch my car a few times. I was wondering if anyone knows which gear(L,2,3,D) is best for doing power breaking and @ what rpm.

Re: Power breaking
mine is (D,2,1), I am assuming 'L' for you is the same as '1' for me......I brake boost from '1' so I would assume that your best bet would be from 'L'. And about the RPM....that varies from car to car of course.

Re: Re: Power breaking
D, 2 , L for me. I run out of 2 and try to push it into drive at about the speed the trans is rated for in that gear. For me it's about 60mph. L runs out so quick at about 20mph. You could just try running it from low during the whole run. Personally i would not.

I had my fast idle stick in the van, so I stopped and did a little power braking to get it unstuck.... It nearly stalled
 Of course, when I let off the brake, I left a 20 foot patch

Re: Power breaking
"...push it into drive at about the speed the trans is rated for in that gear"
Can you damage your trans if you shift to D at a high speed and should you let go of the gas? cauz I know if you drop from N for boosting you can reck ur car. "What kinda car are we talking about?" It's a 01 cavalier with cold air intake and performance chip on it. "Doesnt it cause noticeable damage when you power brake a FWD car??" I'm not even sure if you can do power breaking on a FWD.

   It's a 2001 Cavalier with a CAI and chip. Oh yes, a power house it is. Him and ECOT3C should meet up and run.
