Transbrakes-FI-Breaking Crankshafts

[Marksnet]

So I’ve set my mind to run the 6.50 heads up class.

The class leaves on a pro tree

To be competitive it’s always advised to use a transbrake

However, I am hearing that running a transbrake on high horsepower can break the crankshaft?
I’ve just never heard this and wanted to get all input on this subject.

My setup
20% OD on the crank pulley
OPG’s
10 Rib kit Gen 5 whip
3.875 pulley
E85 tune
Roughly 900ish wheel HP
Steeda Stop the Hop
Progressives
Lowered
Drag radials

I am running stock converter with McLeod built tranny

What are my risks of breaking the crank on a stock block

I can be competitive with no transbrake. And do you really need 900whp for 6.50s? Seems like a hell of a lot

He's wanting to sandbag em. Have that extra power to drive around em when he gets treed by the bracket cars.
