how would you have to launch in an auto to get a good time at the strip? do you just power brake or should you do something else

ya, just have your left foot on the brake and your right on the gas. when the third yellow bulb comes on GO! don't wait till the light turns green.

this. it might take a few runs to figure out the best rpm to hold it at while on the line.

what kinda of set are you planning on doing? honda's auto trannies dont really hold up any kinda power. the B series can maybe hold up to 250? maybe less. more like 200 whp. and turboing it and brake boosting it will only kill the trans fast. even with upgraded tq converter.

any other ways to make it go fast down the strip? in terms of driving style.

I'm embarrassed and ashamed to say this but im auto
Ive launched before and raced people
Safe way is keep it in first, hold brake then floor it
I usually keep it in neutral, rev then drop to first and floor it
Although one day il blow my trans doing it but whatever I hate auto.
