Message on an auto than normal or you will still get smoked off the line. stock stall is ~2400 i think. well your turbos will not be doing anything at that rpm. so youll sit there until they spool. so the answer to this is to get a higher stall converter. well then you can get a ~3500rpm one. then you will get off the line very well. trying to run people from a roll you will now not do so well. torque converters are the main parasitic loss on autos. high pitched blades (higher stalls) take up more % of drivetrain loss (we're talkin 25-30% for a higher stall vs. 18% on a manual). and to top it off, you will have to rev it into the 3k rpms to start moving.

so you can have it either way i guess..
