Launching w/03 auto

How do you launch with an auto? Hold the brake and rev? Started spinning the tires this way....

Basically what you said, hold the brake down and give it gas.Dont give it to much gas or the tires will spin. Best bet is to do a nice burn out before so you can get the tires a little sticky...

2800-3200 stall torque converter, shift kit, and trans cooler are your friends.

Mine seems to grip better from a full throttle mash, than a break and rev launch. As adviced, do a nice burnout to clean the tires from dust and debris...

Cheers
