Go bust your output shaft and tell me how violent of a shock it is to your engine... It just is not. just sayin.

So you're saying the flywheel and tranny interface with the engine dampens the release?
I just disagree with you on this. It would be MUCH more imediate and violent than even a side step off the clutch on a hard launch. All that pressure that's ALREADY built up on the system suddenly released in a milisecond. Maybe the tranny buffers the shock toward the cam. But for you to say it's not a much worse shock than a hard launch just seems wrong. I could see if the source of the power and torque was on the other side of the break. Then I suspect it would be violent for the axles and differential.
Myabe the transmission buffers the system. But I can't see it just being a simple rev. Not when it's already under extreme pressure.
