Default need launching tips in an AOD

i was wondering if anyone can help me out with my launches. Right now im not droping it from 4k or anything, just gunning it (dont wanna screw anything up). I just installed a new bullitt suspension kit, and im getting new Kuhmo Ectsa tires next weekend, so i shouldn't be spinning my tires that much anymore. But i need to know how to launch better. Thanks alot!
Brian.

footbrake it up to about 1000 or so than mat the gas. if it spins. Footbrake it again but just roll the throttle. Also tire pressure should be around 24 or so. For a good bit of grip.
