Once you feel comfortable with and better able to control the car, you might be better served using comp mode. IMO you always want to shutoff TC when going WOT and comp mode reduces the level of AH intervention.

I see you are soon to have a 10 second car, if not already. My advice to you, seeing as how AH already came on at the track with a "test" pass, is to keep TC OFF and keep AH fully enabled. I think you need all its got. It could be the main difference between a safe pass and a wall job.
