Just the head gasket repair ( reason the head was worked ) makes a world of differance after you get the head set up nicely and the leaks fixed. I had it done well, not just planed off so I could slap it back on. Hope you know a good, friendly mechanic.

Even stamping on the throttle from its 600rpm idle makes my car do a nice takeoff, but yea it's an auto. In a manual you'd launch at a fast idle or more to make it look any better than an auto so there's nothing wrong with it.

It's not good on an auto tranny, but you can push the brake in, Rev the car to like 2 grand, then when you're ready to go, floor it and release the brake at the same time. Or get a converter. Turbo's are less off the line than the N/A's due to the lower compression ratio and the boost not really kicking in to assist till 3k+ or so. Just what I've noticed.
