Oh Yeh.
You're tune up is also going to change a lot with the auto. You'll have to do a lot of tunig at the track/street because the dyno can't load the tranny properly with that much stall. The weight of the car affects the stall/load the tranny puts on the motor.

You should contact Mike Lowe from Low performance here in Florida. Mike been running an auto on his 1st gen for many years now. He competes in the outlaw/modified class and runs consistent low 8's with an auto behind his 13B.

So, a two step isn't needed like you would need on a 5 speed?

Your still going to use a two step. The trans brake doesn't control rpm. Like Crispeed stated it locks reverse and 1st together so the car doesn't move. The car will act like it's in neutral until you like go of button. Which you'll should tie into the 2step as well...

If you have a larger turbo, just reving it out won't do it. I found out the hard way. Ray hooked up the anti-lag on my car. Very crazy but effective. I build around 15psi on the line.

The type of two step makes a whole lot of difference though.

That seems like it would be good for launching, but if you are bracket racing, I don't think it will be very consistant. I would rather just use a two step.
I have noticed that once you do too big of a burn out your 60ft will suffer from the tire being too melted.
