How high are your rpm's when you launch? Also what mods do you have in your car?

2500rpm, i burn out for half a second. AEM Intake.

I wouldn't quite call half a second a "burnout," more like a squeel. 2,500 seems about right to me. It's tough for me to launch, because my clutch is dying, so it slips quite a bit. ACT stage II here I come!

I have been launching at 3500-4000. Depends on pavement I am launching on. Idealing I trying to get wheel spin until 4000 rpm where I start making power. It will be different for every person. Like I said though, I ideally you want wheel spin, and then hook up where you are starting to make power.
