Sure you might want to launch at peak torque if you could get traction. If you go any higher than 3k your just going to burn the crap out of your tires and blow your differential into tiny little pieces.
if you go any lower than 3k on an N/A 2.5( in my experience) your rev's drop considerably, then your trying to take off with the secondaries closed......and there is far less "oomph" down there.
it's worked out for me so far, and my diff is in one piece(amazingly after all i've put it through), The high RPM launches were a track day experiment that happened to work out very well for me, whether it's best or not it don't know, that conclusiuon will have to waite untill i get more test time next season.
