Launching my B16

I have a JDM B16a, LSD Tranny, Intake and Exhaust. What RPM launch would be reccomended for this set up. (It is in a 1998 DX coupe if you wanted to know.)

what tyres and clutch setup are you runing?

I have street tyres with a stock clutch set up and I would usually launch at 4500-5000 rpm dumping. I would cut 2.2-2.3 60ft. If I launch any lower the car would bog.
