What RPM you can leave/lauch at depends on what tire your gonna run.
I would practice with your set-up & see what it will tolerate. Try 1800 & step up fom there. If you launch & it boggs give it more RPM next time. To much & you'll blow the tires off.If your stock I usually shift at 6K, a shift light helps a ton here.
The key here IMO is practice, practice, practice & get the feel for the car down.
