^You should do that from 7k about 15 times in a row and report back.

santa, just spray the whole damn time.

15 times eh? I give it 2 times before something exciting happens, It'd be lame anyway cause you still wouldn't have any boost and it would bog big time.

If you can't build boost with an auto at the line you need a looser converter. Or at least anti-lag.

You can't use anti lag with a auto trans really. The trans is the load. You can only go so loose with the converter before you loose all your top end power. If I can get the converter to stall out at 4-4500rpm I'd be very happy with that. I don't think I'd need any nitrous then as my boost comes on hard.

I think you can run anti-lag with an auto, all it does is reduce the timing and richen up the mixture while engaged. But I never tried it, so I can't say for sure.

The whole reason why you need anti lag with a stick car is because there is no load being produced by the engine until you let the clutch out. The converter is what cause's load on an auto car. You will not need anti lag to launch.

Anti-lag will actually hurt you trying to get up on the converter.

Yeah, cause when your timing is retarded that far you loose all your power, you might be able to comprimise but adjusting the timing slightly around where it stalls, less timing spools faster, but makes less power...

Orrr instead of worrying about losing top end from a loose converter, you can get one of the late model dsm autos that have lock-up converters.
