Slow off the jump

From a stand still my fd auto seems to get bogged down if I floor it. No power. Almost like it is flooding out. However if im at a slow roll and punch it, the car takes off. I have a downpipe, midpipe and a restrictor plate to keep the boost creep away. That's pretty much all the mods. Thanks for any suggestions.

Auto FD's are naturally dogs off the line. Check out this thread to give you some ideas on ways you can overcome it.

Unless you plan to mod quite a bit, get used to it. At least you are from Louisiana, I'm sure you can hold your own w/anything around from a roll. I have an auto FD too, and my solution has been not racing from a stop lol.
