I personally like launching at about 7-75k rpms, it always works good and lanuches pretty nasty. But that just my opinion

Well the fastest way isn't the best way. The fastest way is to keep the rpm high(7000+) and slide the clutch out just fast enough to not spin the wheels and not to bog down the rpm. This however is not good for the clutch.

Uh Oh, here we go again! Put 100 bucks in the bank for every launch you do and get to know your service department well. Oh and by the way 7k iseems perfect.

Depends on the road surface. It really does. Learn your roads baby, that's all I can say. Some welcome 6K launches, others you'll need to bring it up even higher.
