launching my civic

how do you guys get your civic to launch? I either spin or bog down! every once in a while I can get a decent launch. where are the rpm's at when you let out the clutch? ps. I don't have stock tires I have 205/40/16's on my car now.

Don't dump the clutch, just do a quick little slide at about 3-3.5k. I seem to do a little skirt and go.
