I've got a fully built TH400 for my setup now that's almost new, so I figure it'll last a little while. When it pops it'll get a brake for sure though.

I dunno...launching it off a brake is pretty damn violent. A friend of mine has a 66 Dodge Dart that runs bottom 10's, and he has a brake in it, and he said he'd much rather launch it off a footbrake then the transbrake, because of how hard it hits. (of course, he has a 5000 stall converter)
Good luck though man...what rear end are you running? 9"? Full Spool?
