The stock diferentials are glass, and any kind of clutch dunp launch is likely to break it requardless of RPM.
My theory is this, corerct me if i'm wrong:
2.5's have no torgue down low like the 3.0's do, because of this it is benificial(when equipment can handle it) to launch at a higher rpm to keep the revs where the power is. Hence you 3l guys can keep the rev's low, but the 2.5's need to be higher.
I pulled my 15.1 with a 4500-5000 RPM launch. I'm on a stock diff, and wouldn't launch if i cared about it breaking. I'm not saying i believe this person in particular but isn't it possible to achieve mid 14's with an svt, i mean SE's have pulled 14.8's in the right conditions and propper driving, whats stopping an svt.

Your car must sound like it is going to blow up if you launch it that high up in the rpm band.
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.
