    ATF temps increase very quickly when doing that. You may consider getting a trans oil temp gauge if you get in the habit of launching like that.

      yup, and its a horrible habit, it just too much fun lol. Doing some work on the tranny this weekend. I've just been slowly changing the fluid out for synthetic but now I'm going drop the pan and do a full change with the filter and gasket. Still need lines for my cooler and will also install my gauge.I can easily tell when its too hot because my shifts slow down a bit or shift earlier than the 6200.Usually happens after 1-2 hours of spirited driving.

              The transmission is leaving too much to be desired for me. I'm doing a 5 speed swap in the summer. The Auto is just shifting worse and worse with the more power I throw at it. At 7psi its fine but at 9 it just cant shift quick enough to stay off of the limiter. It doesn't slip or anything just not really fun....

                I was going to mention that it didn't sound like it was shifting all that crisp in the videos but didn't want to drag up the whole auto trans topic again. It will be a much more drivable car with a manual unless it was just going to be a drag car. :)

                  SO I guess the limit of the autotrans is somewhere around 7psi, because it was shifting real crisp and quick until I turned up the boost.
