Sell your a*** for a night to raise the coin needed to buy and install a nitrous kit, and keep it under your hat.
Should give him a shock. |

take out your sub/spare wheel n whatever else you have removable.
It should be pretty even, and like you said I'd expect it to jump you off the line, but the commo auto's arent too flash, but by the time your at the top end of 1st you should be in front, and pulling away slowly. |

| was that with all your extra weight of sub n spare? Really you should have just passed him at 100. did you stall it up (well as much as you can ), or just boot it from idle? |

| Reduce the pressue in your tyres a bit, take em down to like 26psi, will reduce your wheels spin and help keep on the track. |

yeah that was with everything in my boot, aswell as 2 of my mates, where he ad an empty ute tray and only one passenger, n he was only just infront, i didnt stall it up that time either.
also 26psi? u sure? that seems pretty low |

| Ash scaffy and XH5LWPN, but Im pretty sure last I was at Woopass with em, they were both around that level, just head to the servo right around the corner there on the front, they got a digital air unit, so easy to do before you race and go back and fill em up after ward |

You won't need to touch tyre pressures with a stockish auto 4L.
Run the pressure you run with on the street, reduce rolling resistance.
Steel rims are a good idea, as long as the tread on them is half decent, they weigh less then alloys.
I'm not a fan of stalling up with stock stalls (unless boost is involved).
With 4Ls I stay on the brake, tramp it, and a fraction of a second after I get off the brake, so it "flashes" the stall.
This technique also works on auto LS1s  |

It hits it harder and shocks the stall point up a bit more, as opposed to sitting on the brake at the stall point and heating up the trans fluid.
I think with stock convertors because they are so tight, stalling them up does 2 tenths of f**k all.
Give it a crack. |

The track at the motor plex is very good, traction wont be a problem if your running a near standard 6. Especially in a BTR auto.
I'd leave it around 30 if you have good rubber, a tad less it you have large rims.
No big burnouts with standardish tyres, a quick blast to get the water off and get em warm is fine.
Might see you down there. |
