I've got a Auto too and I ran 15.2 bone stock. Make sure and keep your foot on the brake at the line to get the rpms up. That's the only way to get a good launch with an auto.
nice thats pretty decent, yea i know all about preloading the rpms from driving real drag cars, did you get real bad tire spin doing that im on 17x9.5's so maybe the tires wont spin as bad?
just floor it too..... wont really matter in ur car, unless u got sucky ass tires.... i say about a 15.5 .. dunno if its ur first time... but they say its usually a disappointment... but it takes practice

Just flooring WILL result in 15.5's for sure. Doing the brake stand launch is the only way to make an AODE run close to the times of a stick. Tire spin wasnt much, I ended up launching at a lot of different rpm's (between 1500-2500) to see what gave me the best times/least tire spin. I think mine ran best when I launched it at about 2200. But that can all change due to track temp and conditions. Just experiment some. If you've driven real drag cars you wont have a problem. Good luck!
i ran 15.4 bone stock powerbraking at 1600rpm. i couldn't hold it more cause it would start to slip.
PS, THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME OUT AND HAVEN'T TAKEN IT SINCE.
i dont understand why people with autos think it makes a diff if its their first time, and auto will go close to the same time everytime unless you really do something weird so it really doesnt matter if its your first of 100000 time racing an auto, its pretty much gonna be the same.
My first time at the track I went 15.1 I had a little exhaust and cold air and mass air with 373. The next time I went I ran a 14.9 with a little more exhaust and other bolt ons. Then I finished the exhaust and added a few more bolt on and then 14.6.
