i dont think "launching", "honda/acura" and "automatic" go in the same sentence.

That's what we do here, Nick.

Do try brake torquing; I have seen it improve many launches. Even in a 4 cylinder Camry and a beat Ram 2500. DO NOT do neutral Drops or your tranny will fall out (in a manner of speaking).

And FWIW, the harder you run your car the more you will wear it down, and it will be more likely to break. Choose your hard launches wisely, grasshopper.
