I get her up to 2k RPMs and if I go over the engine cuts and have to try again all while holding the brake in. I do have an UPREV tune. Is this causing the problem or is it bc it's AT? Does manual have this same issue? Do I have to pull the brake light fuse in order to get a proper launch? Thank you all in advance. Oh yeah it is in "manual mode" w VDC off.

Not trying to troll here. But serious question... Why are you trying to launch an AT anyway? And why go over 2k? It's been shown time and time again that launching does not really help times and often makes them worse (unless we're talking a dragster). Of my time at the autox track and practicing my 0-60 launches I found that revving to 2k and slowly feathering the gas to the floor yielded the fastest 0-60 times but never beat out a stand still launch by more than 1/10th of a second. So again, why launch? You don't need to launch to beat the 6MT guys around here.
