Nice! How does it launch or do you need a different TC and some TCU magic to launch the auto?
i think the way to launch an auto is one foot on the break, HARD and the other on the throttle then wait for the converted and wait for boost then boom off the break and off you go very quickly!! correct me if im wrong though..

I think he was more referring to how the tranny would hold up to the power...

Yes. I think he was wondering how well it launched though LOL

I haven't launched the car which if u know me is completely unlike me but I'm a little scared to be honest.
My laptop adapter broke so I'm on sam's laptop for a while, but once I get a replacement it's on.
Looking for a local track day to run asap. Need to hit an 11 before the year is done.

An 11 at 330 on MAP's dyno?

I'm no racing math genious, but that sounds kinda tough, granted I'm not sure how advantageous the gearing is in the auto over a manual. Regardless, good luck getting there sir.

Auto is powerband the entire way down the track. No lag from gear to gear and no lost time shifting. A 330hp auto car probably feels like a 400+ manual car.
