slipping the clutch may help, but it's hard to do and it's harder on the clutch.  You'll probably want to start at a higher rpm also if you slip it.
Another thing I completely looked over when I said that you'd typically dump between 2500 and 3000....this could change a good bit with tire compound, tire diameter, road surface, road conditions, etc.  The last time I tried it, I pinned it between 2500-2750...but that was with 195 tires and really worn/gritty pavement.  This weekend I tried it with my new 225 tires on good pavement and it launched pretty good with some wheel spin at 3500 and some bogging at 3250.  On black top/asphault, it might even be up to 3750.
