I find it never hurts to have a little wheel spin off the line, rather than it bogging. At least that way your still alwayse traveling in a foreward motion..

plus rubber has the most GRIP when it is slipping, about 10% slippage.

Re: how do you stage?
 

The thing is, something has to slip to get you off the line. The engine is sitting at 4000rpm+ and the car is stationary.
Something has to slip to bring the car and the engine to the same pace. I find it best to slip the clutch a little to move the car the first feet and then release it completely and let the tires sort the rest. I have my launch control wired so that it doesn't disengage until the clutch has engaged.
The best equipment for drag racing is an automatic transmission, especially if it has a transbrake. Just set the boost right for the launch and take off with zero wheelspin as the torque converter does the slip for you.
