Don't do the rev-drop, it's terrible for the transmission. You can brake-boost by holding the brakes and stepping on the accelerator until about mid-2K rpm and then letting off the brakes. But keep in mind, this isn't good for your car either. One reason why manual is usually slower than auto in 0-60 times is because of the launch...in autos you can't. Your best bet is to just let off the brakes and just punch it. Auto has a quicker start than manual but in a manual, you can launch.

The torque converter is the automatic transmission's version of a clutch. Some plates and a viscous fluid that lock together. Auto trannies can be modified to allow you to do higher rpm launches without damaging them, and to do harder, quicker shifting between gears. We've got a sedan guy (gurgenpb) that's had his tranny worked on by EdgeRacing. Here's his post on the mod:
