Quick braking question.

[Gardner Yeaw]

NO,
The torque converter doesn't lock up in first or second gear, also
you do not want to overspeed the engine, that would result in valve
breakage and destroy the engine. The 3208 doesn't provide much back
presure anyway so even in 3rd or 4th you will need the brakes.
