Help w/ launch w/ mods. & est. time

What do you guys recommend me launching at and how with these mods(see sig). My clutch play is really small so I usually drop it after 4.5 to 5. Haven't really practiced feathering it at all. I have a heavy foot so I tend to go full throttle when I drop(Not good technique I know). Here are my newly installed mods:Exedy Hyper Single, AVC-R, Injen Intake w/ IC pipe, & Walboro Pump. The car pulls nearly all the way to red. I only increased the boost up to 1.4 KG (+.9 PSI than stock) but it feels like it pulls really hard...(kind of scared me at first). When I first tried it, all my wheels were spinning in 1st all the way to 7400 RPM(Wheel hopping with AWD feels weird) then I shifted to 2nd it still spun but eventually grabbed( I didn't read the tach so I don't know at what RPM I finally got traction- the Falkens have just over 300 miles on them so it's not the tires). I thinking that I might have to lower my boost at the lower RPMS. I haven't checked but I think I'm running 1.2 KG until I reach 5K then it goes to 1.4.

Any ideas on how I should launch? Not getting any traction in 1st would result in a bad 60ft. right? If I did get traction in 1st what do you think my est. 1/4 would be?

Forgot to mention I was running on 92 OCT. when the wheels spun but I plan on using C16 this weekend at the local drag strip. I'll be retuning my AFC to add more fuel at the higher RPMS to adjust to race gas. Hopefully I won't loose more traction with this added power.
