Launch RPMs for 6 speed

I've been trying to find the best RPMs to launch at and was wondering what the rest of you guys have found to be best.

There was a professional drag racer who did the 1/4 mile in 13.9 stock but he launched at around 5K I wouldn't recommend that unless for some serious $$$$.
