I usually take it pretty easy on the car and launch at around 3k rpm say when taking off when I do autocross or the occasional *cough*street race*cough*, but that's only because I don't want to roast my clutch. I don't dump it, but quickly let out the clutch while feeding in throttle to get a halfway decent jump. If I do it right I chirp the tires just a bit without much or any wheel hop. If I let out the clutch too quickly or give it full throttle right away the back end gets out of shape or I get wheel hop pretty bad. l'd probably shave off a couple tenths by going to 4 or maybe even 5k rpm and slipping the clutch more, but that will wear out the clutch pretty quickly if done on a regular basis. It also depends on the surface I am starting from. On some asphalt roads I can be rolling at 20mph and just stab first and the back end gets all out of shape but on concrete it won't. So there are many factors that come into play.
