Default Good Launch RPM

Few questions? 91 civic si w/B16(intake,exhaust&header)I'll be using steelies up front on street tires.What's good RPM's to launch at? I don't want to sit there and spend all day. Should I take off at 3k rpm or I was thinking just pat the gas like on the street& once moving rely on my horsepower & redline every gear. Do B16's use 3 or 4 gears for 1/4 mile. I never ran car with B16. Had B16 only 3 months. I use to have a 90 Eclipse GSX AWD & I lauched at 5k rpm. Never broke axle. So have to adjust to FWD. Don't want to break axles. Let say I lauch at 3krpm and cut a good light could that get a 14 second run? Hollar
