“Launch It” that’s funny! That’s like watching a space x falcon heavy take off.
Honestly loosing the exhaust braking effectiveness is the worse and just want it bake. Before I rarely used the brakes. Now I’m always using them.
On the WTEC2 there is a manual lockup program option, used for oilfield I think. Auto-manual switch and engage-disengage switch. I suspect there is something similar in the wtec3 programming. That might get you some better slow speed ex brake performance, but you would have to be sure to...

I’m a flat lander from Florida driving an 2003 M1079A1 with a 3126B asking the question!
As I’m currently parked at 8,800 ft above sea level.
What is the maximum elevation our trucks can reliably start and operate?
