Fast Take Off?

Sup guys, i have the auto 2.4 SS, and I was wondering what is the fastest way to take off in a automatic car. If I go full throttle off the line, My wheel spins (obviously), so what methods/techniques are there for an auto car? When I usually race, I drive without traction control, seems like it goes a bit faster without it (except for the wheel spins). I used to drive a 98 Manual DSM, so I have experience with manual, never with an auto =/

Any Info on this will help , thanks guys, I'm a noob haha

And disable torque management in your tune when you get one so that low end torque is not restricted.
