I am going turbo soon, and I am automatic as well. Im curious, why did you go with the star kit? That is usually the wrong way to go with an automatic. We need the turbo to spool quicker - a Super16G (HRC) would spool a bit faster than the star kit. Thats why I am going with the HRC kit.....are you just looking for more high end power?
As far as launching, I'm wodnering the same thing. Brake torqueing seems as if it is bad on the car, and I'm going to baby my tranny...cause I don't want ant problems with it. Im just wanting a fun fast street car, nothing crazy. I doubt I'll even race from the light often.
