they allow you to stall the car up and lauch according to the stall speed like say 3600rpms. it ruins gas mileage but really lets you take off hard and fast and can make an A4 an M6 slaughterer

I will move this only if you promise to go to www.google.com and type in your question. Orwe actually have one under the search function on this site. Moving to Auto's.
