1) The rod cap bolts stretching would be from the engine over revving, not 
compression braking.
2) Most dragsters running an automatic today have the sprags removed, thus, 
no engine braking occurs.

Damage occurs when the car has been allowed to exceed the safe speed of the 
next lower gear and the inexperienced driver throws it down a gear to save 
himself from other previous bad decision making processes. Our next topic to 
avoid discussing disc brakes could be the effect of a high stall converter on 
engine braking!!! May I recommend a parachute?
