You are correct that the "off th line" or "in the hole" power is anemic with the automatic transmission.
The 3" airbox inlet and a low restriction air filter like K&N helps.
The throttle body transition casting work helps.
Keeping the transmission in 3rd and "sport" mode helps.
The next thing to look into is a re-programmed Engine Conrol Unit (ECU) from MAptun or SQR, but that is a bit more money.
