the D-2-D shift
start out in drive on a launch powerbreaked till the wheels almost start to spin then right before the tranny shifts into second from first pull the shifter from drive down into 2nd and hold it there till 5,000 rpm's and pop it back into drive.
this is a little known program in the ECU to improve the 1-2 shift line pressure. it is not reccomended to do it all the time but only when racing (at the track i might add)
the 1-2-D shift is worthless and turning off the OD like alot of people believe is faster is worthless too
the D-2-D shift will on some cars that are stock chirp the tires going into second from first. my 98 would literally smoke the tires down the road for about 50 ft going into second gear with the procharger and 3.45 gears without the shiftkit

try the D-2-D shift and tell me if it isn't extremely quick and hard shifting compared to stock

RE: best way to launch an auto?
So powerbreakng at 1500 rpm can damage the transmission? I thought it would be ok as long as you stayed below 2,000. I didnt know it would kill the tranny at the low rpms. Well I know the brakes are placing an extra load on it b/c it cant move the car freely. But I thought it was better than shifting from N to D or N to 1-2-D. Is there a trans brake for the V6 autos?

not likely because it does not change the line pressure at all. you are most likely getting lucky

i would think 1-2-d would be the same though, its going into second to firm it up?
