ive heard of people with n/a's doing a 5k rpm slip... ive tried dumping the clutch and slipping it for launches and slipping seems to work best for me

I usually launch at 5K, but I feather the clutch. It has netted me a 1.8 60 ft time on street tires.

5k here too, I drop the clutch though and feather the throttle. 3.3k is way too low if you ask me unless you have a turbo car with a fair amount of boost which obviously isn't the case.

5k is the way to go feathering the gas.
Feathering is adjusting how much pressure you put on the pedal so you don't spin your tires too much
