Default launch technique

whats the best launch technique from a stand still
is it better to hold the break with a little throttle then release the break and nail it or is it better to gas a little at first then get on it I still have the stock limited slip diff and 3.73's

what i found works the best for me is to just let off the brake on the last yellow light and roll onto the gas and it seems to work well for me but then again my 60 foots arent that great either

Brake stall to about 5psi of boost. Let off the brake while nailing it. 4WD = 0 to 60 mph in a best of 4.77 seconds. 2WD = Lots of Tire Smoke
