how to launch. How you get SC on auto M3? (archive)

my friend has a turbo car and he does power brake. i would think ACS off b/c if it were on it would rob power. i would say power brake to about 1.2-1.4 rpm maybe more maybe less (if you brakes start to slip then let off rpm alittle). Put it in "sport" mode then drop down your shifter into the "2" position, this is hte most powerful method to start. Im just curious, i thought that the Auto Transmission could not take more than 320 HP, how did you manage to get supercharger to work with the Automatic tranny??

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
