Message Hi guys, I have an automatic with a stall speed converter. I can brake torque and leave the line with mega boost. If I don't have drag radials and a good surface I'll just smoke the tires and run a slower time. With good traction, your head is burried into the head rest!

Yes, with the automatic the boost builds, stays built and the bitch keeps pulling! I've raced some manual cars and always pull big time on them when they shift and yes I can see exactly when they shift.
