Flashing the torque convertor or torque braking will give you a better launch. Do a search in this forum with those keywords and you'll find lots of info.

First hold it at like 1000-1500 rpm...then before you want to go...floor it all the way(still with the break pedal) and quickly release the break pedal..also flick the TCS(Traction control) if you have one

It depends. I find 1500 a good rpm for me, but others use 2000. Test out different points and see which works the best for you.
