The tuned auto is from levelten.com and it looks pretty sweet. As far as I know, all those dragsters are running sevens with tuned auto transmissions.
What are your thoughts (sorry for the poll in the Tech section, but it comes complete with a tech related thread)

automatic transmission+drag racing=everything that is wrong in this world.

While a tuned auto is crazy fast, it doesn't sound like it would be fun to drive. It doubt it would be comfy for the street either.
For me, I like going fast, and every but helps. But clutching and shifting is part of the experience, at least for me. I'll take the manual for free <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> Jeff

I see no reason to dump money on a race Auto tranny that can handle outrageous amounts of HP, unless you already have outrageous amounts of HP. I've never driven a car with this kind of setup but I would imagine it wouldn't be very streetable either..

I run an FMX auto with a 3000 stall converter, braided lines, B&M Pro Shift Kit, B&M Bands and B&M Flex Plate in my Fairlane and run 1/2 second faster ETs in the 1/4 mile than I did with a Top Loader four speed and Hi-Perf clutch set up. Granted it is just barely streetable now.
Most serious straight liners I know run autos. They just shift faster and launch better than a manual. Starlin
