I want to do some brake torque. How do you do it? Will it hurt the engine or the tranny? Will it cause massive wheel spin?

Hold in the brakes is hard as you can and then rev the engine to about 1500 rpm...let go of the brakes and floor it. Do not hold the brakes and gas for too long since you will be building up a lot of heat in the tranny and may damage your TC. Flashing the TC is a better method. Hold the brake in as hard as you can. When you are about to launch, floor the gas and let go of the brakes. This will bring the revs up higher and you will not be hurting the TC as much.

Are we talking about strictly autos here or does this apply to 5spds?

My car doesn't seem to peel that easily, perhaps due to the VLSD, or maybe I'm trying not to beat up on the car.
