definitly a netral slam off the rev limiter

"torque brake" is best IMO

Im gonna go out on a limb here....Full gas pedal slammage, try to feather the slammage a little so you dont break the axles.

if you can get traction a neutral drop will get you off the line fastest, but dont expect the clutchpacks to last long doing that..... the one time i tried it w/low tire pressure i managed to get a 2.2 60' compared to my 2.4's when i "powerbraked" it

autos are the ****...consistent time after time. Try a higher stall torque converter and the powerbrake method. I'd race an auto tranny if these damn honda auto trannys weren't so expensive to beef up. The downside is that they weigh more than their standard counterparts.
