Fluid is OK, learned a long time ago that heat is the killer.
Early in my draggin days, an engine builder friend was curious about how much heat was generated in the converter by the trans-brakes we were using at the time.
With a 8inch, approx. 4500 stall converter hooked to a 600hp sbc, wide open on the brake, it made 75 degrees a second. After 7 or 8 seconds, it burnt all the paint off the converter, and the trans upchucked a big load of fluid!! He said "well, now we know the answer to that question" LOL Mark
