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

Not sure how this is relevant to the topic, but if you really want to know the car is financed. Would you like to know my car payments as well? 
I have mixed feelings for the "Break in". All my cars i always launched them after 500 miles. Including the challenger on the picture.
