vac sec or double pumper?

hi, is a d/p carb really needed on a hot street car with an auto box, what if any gains are to be had with a d/p on a automatic street/strip car? i can understand maybe a manual car liking it through the gear changes but an auto you generaly hold flat to the floor all gears, i mean once all 4 barrels are open their open right?. i see alot of people go straight to a d/p holley on their streetcars i think they might be going the wrong way, surely a properly set up vac could go close to matching the double pumpers performance?. am i thinking along the right lines with this? thanks.
