If you launch at 3.5 grand in your six at the line you will be burning the tires all the way down the track. The highest RPM launch I got by dumping the clutch on street meats was 1900 RPM's I suggest feathering at 2500. It will take some getting used to but not as much finesse as trying to launch at a really high RPM.
