Default Drag racing automatic GT

I have a 2016 Mustang GT with an automatic transmission. I've been going over the Track Apps to find the best way to set up the automatic to drag race using the Track Apps. I know the stick users have launch control, but automatics don't, so do I just set it on sport + and mash the accelerator? I've received great help from this forum, so I'm looking forward to your answers. Thanks.

Put the car in sport with traction control completely off. Launch the car at about 1500RPM and feed the throttle in progressively. This time of year you should run 12.6-12.7s completely stock.
