Will launching in second gear hurt the trans?

bajavan said

I use to burn out in 2 gear in both my 727 and 904 SB car. My tranny guy said it was better, less chance of rolling the sprauge when you let off.

I think the OP is talking about launching in 2nd gear instead of 1st.(not burn out)I think it would kill your 60fts resulting in slower times and a hot trans.JMO
