Yup, once you pass 2,000 the torque converter starts to grab hold and the battle of the engine vs brakes begins lol.
Sounds like we're in the same boat. We both know [obviously] that the more you slip the TC, the more wear you're doing. But have no idea past that. I was hoping an expert on the subject would chime in here. I'd really love to get info on our specific application but what can ya do... I guess it's off to the U of Google I go

1-I always wait for the other car to stage first.
2-I wait for the christmas tree to start.
3-I BT to stall speed"usually about 2000 rpm", go on last yellow.
I have read up on what causes converter damage and universally there is agreement that excessive heat will cause pump,clutch or valve damage.I have heard of possible bent internal fins on some high HP cars,but have never seen it happen.To sum it up don't BT for more than 5 sec and you should be OK.

Thanks for adding some info from your experiences. Makes sense.
By the way, don't worry about staging or the tree like that(Reaction time). Unless you're some sort of pro/am bracket racing, that won't make a difference and it's just one more thing to worry about and mess up your launch. Dragstrips don't start your time until your car moves. So once the tree goes green, you can sit as long as you like and nothing on your timeslip will be effected other than your RT.
Once I learned this my launches, and subsequently my overall time, got better

Got my C43 sedan a eurocharged ecu tune last month and love it. The performance gains are impressive and the car is more fun/responsive in all modes.

I just got my AMR tune stage 1 back yesterday.. holly ��!!!! It's incredible.. it's definitely a lot faster and smoother too.. for some reason it sounds like the exhaust sounds better too with more gurgle and bark with the vanes open! It's insane! I almost went with Eurocharged but there was a lot more reviews with AMR and they seem to have had the car the longest to improve the tune than any other company. It was more expensive but I haven't heard of anyone blowing a motor or turbo..

So I got back my ECU from Eurocharge and I must say i am very very pleased. Car absolutely pulls and pulls and keeps on pulling. I will post some Speedo vids once I'm in "mexico" 
. If anyone is in the tri state that wants to meet up maybe have a run against one another (tune only vs tune only) id be more than willing to so the community can have a real perspective of the tunes from other companies. Eurocharge thanks once again!!
