Drag strip tips for 550

Fellow 550 owners, could you give me some tips for the drag strip?
How do you launch your car? I know we don't have the luxury of 4matic that our sedan counterparts do so wheelspin is a thing.
Do you keep the traction control on?
Do you brake boost or just slam the pedal once the lights go out?
Any tips/tricks are appreciated.

ps. I've got the 550 facelift so consider bi-turbo torque

1. Drag Radials
2. TCU tune
3. Profit
Seriously though. I suppose lack of traction is your problem? If so, your gonna need to get stickier tires.
