It's definitely recommended to take it a bit easier until then in general.
With that said — was the car warmed up? What kind of tires do you have on? What's the weather like? Was DSC off and what mode were you in.
Here's a post about setting up the car for LC for reference:

I have been reading the forums for a while as well i just rarely post. As for the Actual Launch Control, it does engage with the Flag showing up. I had tried the Flagged Launch Control (DSC OFF) about 2 times now and Launched it from the red light about 3 times (DSC ON) with just gas pedal to the floor. The car was warmed in all instances and for the tires they are stock, believe or not i did not bother to check the brand, i just know they are 245s sitting on 19s. I put gas on the vehicle twice (MUCH MUCH BETTER FUEL ECONAMY COMPARED TO MY CHALLY) ever since i got it and i only use 93. I have not put too much pressure on the car, or so I believe. but so far i think those times that i launched with have been pretty weak.
Edit: When you do get ready to try the Launch Control, could you please post your numbers or PM me? Thanks
