How do i launch with a 300 stall?

I am putting one on this winter and going to the track as soon as it opens.

But i have never had a car with Stall converter.

IT is going to be around 3000 stall (still looking for one)

I have just basic bolt ons 3:73 gears and Drag Radials (hope the rear will hold up) and the stock trans with 90k miles

So how should i launch this thing

Would also like to know since I will be throwing a midwest 2800 stall with some 3.42's in this summer.

I launch my 3000 off just a tad above idle. Traction is still very limited even with DR's.

I also just give the car a little gas while sitting at the line and then floor it. My 10 bolt has been standing up just fine so far after numerous trips to the track.

I leave off idle, wait till the last light comes down and smack the gas to about half throttle, engine revs up and gets on the convertor hard, personally I think you get more tourqe multiplication this way then foot stalling it up but thats just my opinion.
