PS: The last time I tried 0-60 with boost at 12.5 and ALDA screw turned all the way as far as it will go, I powerbraked it on the line to spool up the turbo and actually did a burnout! Holy crap, never would have thought it could do that on dry pavement!

With an automatic trans I think its better just to floor it. If you build up the rpm's its hell on the tranny and you cannot repeat the times as easy. But yeah if you break torque them a bit you get off the line a bit faster, I don't think its worth beating on it that much for 1/2 a second better time.
A G Tech Pro or on a drag strip is really the only way to get accurite times, I'm still not buying it.
