I found that mashing the pedal was the best way, but that's just me.

Stomp of the throttle, the tires will start to spin, apply the brakes.

I was always puzzled how you did a burnout when you were non-supercharged. LOL
Now you know why I always went around the waterbox.

Once you burnout those Nittos you can go back with the MTs or maybe a bigger Nitto.
Thanks buddy, I remember your comments on the burnouts!

Yep, you have the DCT update.

It's good stuff AK, when we compared my Vbox graphs with Mike, two different people who looked at the data concluded that after each shift, Mike's car would jump ahead 15', not sure why, but the DCT software may have played a role in that, and I was making more power than him. With the DCT upgraded my tranny did not throw any overheating warning lights as well while trying to do burnouts at Famoso when I hit the 11.30. I think it does help, my Vbox times show that as well.To raise the rev limiter in the DCT you need to access it's ECU as well I believe (EDIT, I'm wrong you only need to access the ECU to raise the rev limiter on the DCT).
