IMO autos are tricky. Its easy to pin LOD where ever you want with a manual trans, but with an auto you have to learn to balance things. You don't want to loose a ton through the torque converter by loading it up too much. But, you don't want to loose a ton to pumping losses either. You really just gotta play with it until you find what you think works best. Using LOD should definitely help with that.
