Keep your load up launches around 1000 RPM's and you'll be fine and get better times that way.
I used to launch at 2250 RPM's which is above the converter's stall, which led to Transmission failure. Daytona been racing his car with 180,000 miles on it (Chrysler 3.0, it's amazing) and it still runs good. Lost about .5 seconds since 100K but it's still not bad. Don't hold it too long though. if the other guy hasn't starged up yet, don't load it yet!
1000 RPM launch FTW

Yep, 180K on 100% stock/original engine!
Been racing it every year since 2001 in Points Series and other events. Only tune it up once a year and do the regular 3,000 mi. oil changes.
Footbrake your car.
