I have autoxed with my ~4200 stall before. One that big will really kill the throttle inputs. Not to mention roasting the tires pretty good coming out of any tight corner. I'd go with something under 3000, or get a manual. Big converters = big heat. Big heat = dead autos.

It's not the absolute best for drag racing because of its low STR, but that can be good coming our of a corner, you're less likely to blow the tires away.

The SY3500 is very good for the rolling start. For AutoX you should have gotten the M6 but if you want to drive AutoX with luxurious ease in an Auto, then get the SY3500
