Will this kill my 904 ?

Hey there knowledgeable folk.
Unlike most here I don't have aan A body rather I drive a slingshot (with a 360). I run a 904 TF with a 2.45 st gear 1.45nd gear. I have a 4.3 rear and run 1/8 mile. No I don't want to go to a Power Glide (from here in know as a taxi cab transmission lol). Bloody thing is violent off the line and at times hits the wheelie bars and unloads the tyres throwing me off the gas. Thinking if I leave off the brake in second gear I can get rid of my wheelie bars and 45 lbs of lead off the nose and the weight of the battery if I go to a remote battery again. I know it will be now lazy off the line but should mile an hour higher than it ET's (if that makes sense?) and as I run dial in type racing the slower ET compared to MPH might even help?

Will I kill my Torque-flight leaving in second gear?
Cheers and Happy Christmas
