Get off the line quicker!!!!!!
i have a dx protege automatic and i was wondering what I could
buy that would make me accelerate off the line quicker. I know
that many of you say the MSD ignitions dont do a thing but a
couple reviews i read said there car got off the line a littl quicker
and got better mid range torque. Is it just mazdas that MSD
ignitions dont work for or what?????? and also if u can think of
anything that will help me get off the line quicker post it.

there is a HOLD buton on ur shifter
put the car in LOW or 1st and press the hold button this will let u redline your car a little bit more in each gear
giving u a faster start and quicker run on a 1/4 mile

Take it from me do not use that hold button in low gear too much because lets face it the reason why i got a 5 spd instead was because of the poor lauches i was getting off the line with my dx auto, i mean i went through 2 transmissions in 5 1/2 months so be very careful with your tranny. Like jesse said torque converter and nitrous would help

hold button
dont use the hold button for shifting. i did that **** and my tranny died in 2 weeks. but the good thing is that it was already kinda messed up. it was weak, had to drive lil harder to move =P yeh from what someone explained to me, if you use the hold button on first gear it will confuse the ecu, and that is not good. just puttin in what i know.
