Default Launch rpm in auto?

Hey i was reading through scans of old motor mags including one when the EA first came out.
In there it says something along the line of "The EA really needs the 4-speed .........the 3-speed will only allow the engine speed to build to around 2000rpm against the brake before the torque converter starts to slip, which means your not getting maximum torque off launch which occurs at around 3000rpm".
In my EB with a 4-speed, with the throttle and brake to the floor, my car struggles to reach 1500rpm.
Can anyone come up with suggestions as to why this may be so?
