Launch control and massive wheel spin

Okay, I've have got my launch control down (the procedure) to a fine art. I can get it to engage every time I try it.

Now, it seems that every time I've used it, it does nothing but cause unbelievable wheel spin. In a real world situation (which will never happen anyway), launch control would not be faster than just hitting the accelerator and taking off.

I guess I was under the impression that launch control was supposed to find the perfect balance of power and stability to provide the ideal launch.

Okay, now what self-respecting driver would reduce RPM!?!?!

Just kidding. I'll give it a shot.

Do I do this with the cruise control adjustment on the steering wheel?
