I brake torque at ~1500 RPM's for a REALLY short time and then I gun it. This way, the transmission wont short shift in first gear. Here's a vid:

I find 2k at the drag strip to be the best.

Pop it in manual mode its faster.

Low tire pressure equals better traction.

Who cares about MPG, normally when people "launch" their cars they are at a drag strip.
