I recently put in a SC in my '97 4-door automatic M3. OK, I should have gotten a stick, but I spend a lot of time in rush hour...anyways, what is the best way to launch the automatic off the line? ASC off or on? Power break @ a certain RPM? Or just floor it? I look forward to finding out on my own, but am looking for some 'expert' advice from the board.

Thanks

Floor it to the dealer and install a 5-speed. (NT) Joe ///M3 22:04 4/15/2001 (1)
