Complicated start?

-Master on,
-watch the computer self-test horns, lights and instruments.
-fuel pumps on,
-throttle to idle,
-hit start....

With any computer system, procedures must be followed.
What is involved in a B3 or a Lama start for comparison?

Temp limited, Torque limited, or NG (N1) limited, the question remains, will it perform to Flight Manual published data?
Back in my 350 days, I recall that NG was the first limit reached after departing the base.

No question, about it Capt, a Lama will out do a 407 everywhere and anywhere...except cruise speed
