Default Going to track tonight, advice needed please

Well tonight I'm heading to Lebanon Valley in NY with a bunch of people. It is going to be my first time to a track. At first I was going just to watch but I may run the Mustang cuz it's not everyday I get to go to a track, ya know. What I wanna know is the best way to launch it at the track? I've tried power braking and just straight out punching it, either way it seems pretty slow to me, it does nothing until atleast 3000rpm. I'm going to drive it with OD off should I shift manual or not?? I don't really feel a difference between the 2 but maybe there is.........Any suggestions?? Octane Boost?? Top is gonna be up, windows will be up........What else?? I was also thinking of icing down the intake before I run? Any suggestions would be appriciated, Thank you in advance.

Matt
