optimal launch on an automatic would probably be brake torquing to about 1500RPM, if you slam the throttle with your stock 15's your going to peel out unless you got some real good rubber

Get some stickier rubber and just gun it. I dont think theres alot of finess'ing to an auto max...

Remember, some wheel spin is better than none/bogging...

just go out late at night somewhere where there arent a lot of houses and try different launches. you should get nice chirp but that is it, peeling out is bad. i like to launch between 1500 and 1800 to get my best times.

it also depends on what kind of road you are on. if i launch on old roads ill get a nice launch, but on that newly laid asphalt all i get is burnt rubber.

good luck, dont do anything stupid
