depends on many things. if its cold, what tires do you have, how much weight on the car, etc, etc.
but assuming your car is stock, its about 80 degrees outside, you have the spare tire and jack on the car, and a full tank:
I powerbrake at 1500 and punch the gas.
If it is 35 degrees outside, you have spare tire and jack of the car, low tank of gas:
I launch at around 1100 rpm and hit the gas.
also depends on tire psi, and the track you go to.

when I race I drop the tire pressure to 21psi pedal dance to take traction control off do a burn out line up where I did it brake+Rev to 2000-2200 arm the nitrous 
Hit the gas and the Button 
and run mid 12's
Hit the gas and the Button and run mid 12's

I have found trebuchets to be better than catapults.

but mine is BONE STOCK 35/37 psi
so what would be best?
just brake traction off and rpm at 2k?

having traction control off auto burn out if u brake and rev?
Take off your traction control first and what i do is hit the brakes and the gas rev it up to about 5000 and lift and get back on it for a few seconds and let off the brake and keep it going until for a few feet and let off

hold traction button for 4 seconds
rev to 3500 rpm
3 honks
drop the clutch
spin through first
chirp 2nd and catch traction
i found this to work very well. If I launch anywhere below 3500rpm, the engine bogs out and catches traction in first gear, big no-no. It's better to spin through first gear entirely and then grab traction in 2nd gear. Man i love driving a manual car xD
