What ever you do, 2 liter turbo's are not going to be great getting up from a standstill. There is no replacement for displacement. An automatic might be faster off the line.
You can compensate for the small displacement by dumping the clutch etc. But that will create lots of drive line shock. The clutch will also be abused.
But power is another thing. And there is no replacement for boost pressure. There was a post in the last 2 or 3 days where Abbott is quoted that their fuel maps are good for over 20 PSI. You can use an external boost controller to get these pressures. You will need to get a AF mixture meter and monitor for some test runs at progressively higher pressures. Yes, you have to drive with your foot in the lower gears.
For street competition, you will not need 3rd gear boost to deermine the outcome. But you were wanting softer pressures in the lower gears? That seems to be in conflict with your testosterone driven street wars.
Back the the subject. Are you insane... I don't think so. But I sure would like to come an watch the races! Have a great weekend.
