How do you launch an auto?

Hey, I was wondering how I should launch my automatic. To do a manual I know you put the clutch in, raise the rpms, and then let go of the clutch and gas it. But how would I go about doing that on an automatic? I've tried holding the brakes and bringing up the rpms, but then the wheels just start spinning. Should I put it in neutral then raise the rpms and put it in first? And also, how much should I bring up the rpms? I'm getting a new engine put in my car in a few weeks. It's going to be a 383 with over 450hp. Thanks for the help.
