If you stage as shallow as possible, then you will be rolling better at 60. ET starts when you leave so having a little rolling start does help. This is typically the difference in a 2.2-2.1 60 for me.

My formula is similar to above:
- Auto trans in sport mode (drive just doesn't cut it, sport holds onto 3rd longer)
- Nannies off for the whole run including burnout (else any slippage and the computer cuts power on launch)
- Head right on through the water and do a medium-style burnout (little, if any, smoke)
- Try to get the launch rpm at 1k (too much higher and I slip), stomp on the gas as soon as I see the third yellow and hope for the best

I've really been focusing on my R/T lately because it actually does matter in bracket racing. I've lost rounds with a better time due to worse R/T. Best R/T so far is a .019 though those .0's are hard to come by. I'm working on it.
