getting started is what put the stress on your drive line, but once the tires move its really no big deal.

all powerbraking does is hold until you get over your stall speed, shouldnt hurt anything too bad.

Not good for your trans and your rear brakes. Get a linelock.

if your talking powerbaking as in holding the engine against the converter and not spinning the rear tires, if you do that for too long, you can cause dammage to your converter.. if your talking power braking to do a burnout, mainly just your rear brakes and tires. get a line like like the people above said.. you can get one for like $86. that is less than one set of pads and rotors. or even one caliper
