I do a small brake torque at the track, The biggest gain I found was really getting the tire pressure right for the track conditions. I didn't notice much more than .1 of a difference between a brake torque, and launching from idle. However the times where I experimented I had the stock tires on

Johntypes and myself have experimented with launch and tire pressure at the track this year many times and have found that
30-32 lbs in the tires and 1500-1600 launch works best, consistent 2.2's on stock tires.
