TII vs FD
Well, i personaly have the FD and my best friend is in the middle of buying his TII. A guy in Raleigh is personally building it for him. Hes gonna be running 8-12 psi on the ported stock turbo, with a downpipe, stock exhaust setup after downpipe. His car is a 5 speed with a sport clutch. I on the other hand have a FD with pfs pms, downpipe, high-flow cat, hks exhaust, pettit cold-air intake, stock twins, pfs manual boost controller, and of course... an automatic ... long but simple story. Who do you guys think would win considering i gave a little powerbrake w/o the wheel spin prior to launch (gas and brake holding gas at maybe 3k or a little less)???

Constant threat
I predict he will take you hard off the line, perhaps pull up to 3 car lengths, but you should soon reel him in and pass him, probably by the 60 - 70 mph point, and then you ought to walk him like a dog. Not to dis the FC TII, but you have horsepower on your side, probably a good 40 hp or more.......
The automatic is only a real liability at the initial launch...after that, it becomes an asset, in my opinion.
