It will totally depend on your setup and track/road conditions. My best advice would be to go practice.

This is a must. On my setup, I lauch at 5 with slicks. On street tires, I would launch @ 3-3500. But most important, go out an practice.

yes practice is the key......we have learned with our setup due to the weak suspension we were using at the time that 8k gave us the best result on 23 m&h slicks on 13inch Bogart's......im sure if we get a good suspension setup we will have to play with the launch again.....So case in point like everyone else is telling you.....Practice with your car to find the best launch! have fun!!!!
