No need to remove the seats, etc. unless you really want to.
And the trick behind auto trans launches is "banging the convertor", meaning launching a few hundreds lower RPM than the convertor is set for so that you aren't overpowering the convertor (higher than the convertor) or winding it out too long (ultra low RPM launch). It's more efficient & effective this way.
Ronnie who works the lanes at RP on Sundays taught me that trick years ago. He's an accomplished & respected NHRA Stock Eliminator racer and hasn't steered me wrong yet.
Redog used to launch way too high and ended up hurting his trans. Once he follwed my (Ron's) advice his ET's dropped significantly and his launches were much more consistent.
