Floor it...
If your auto hold the brake till about 1500-2000 RPMs, then when the light turns green, let the brake go, and floor it.
If your standard, a good tip is to shift fast
this is discussed like every 2 days....

Its 13.99 or faster at the two tracks here. I don't wear it for N/A runs, then when I spray I put it on. It is the responsibility of the guy in the booth that gives you your timeslip to check.

What is better leaving it in auto or going through the gears like 1, 2, and D?

Going through the gears from 1-2 & 2-D with OD on and moving the shifter at the right time to allow the needle to drop from redline (6600 rpm). Leaving it in D will not allow the needle to reach redline and this will slow your time by .1-.25 of a sec.

To be honest, you could easily gain a tenth or more if you just concentrate on driving or improve your car's performance by modding or lightening. That's more realistic a scenario than you being close to perfect shifting. Put the autos in D, take the O/D button off, slightly torque brake the car, watch the light, 3rd yellow jump on it and go. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "It's the shoes Michael Jordan".
