Like avenger said, just power brake as high as you can hold it. this is where higher stall speed convertor helps, cause you can bring the rev's up even higher. with the stock tranny you can bring the revs up to 2000-2500.

the bov wont go off during a run, cause your always in boost. that means not having to build boost again in the next gear, once you hit full boost in 1st, youll have full boost till u let off. the bov only goes off when you let off

DEFINITELY get a tranny cooler with the a604. heat is the #1 killer of the a604. seems like 2-3+ trannies go a month just on the ASOG board. Im on my third (had it rebuilt right the last time tho)
>4) With auto stage1, what kind of times should I expect on

high 15's-low 16's, depending on how well you can get off the line. but from a roll, youll run with cars that run quicker times.
>5) Your opinion, is this worth it? I can't sell my car and

definietely worth it, but youll be upgrading soon
