Help Launching

So after having my car for a little over a month... I decided to give the 1/4 a try, last night at about 12 I went to a local highway that has no street lights and is totally empty at night because it leads to the beach. I stop in the center lane, and go. Tried 3 times before I decided I should ask before I break my damn car. First time I revved to 2,500, dumped the clutch but didnt give enough gas so i stalled Then I revved to 3,000 and nailed the gas and hit the limiter in .5 , while it felt like the back of the car was floating.... let off a lil n finally hooked. 3rd revved to 3,500 and floated the cluch for terrible launch. I need some suggestions, ideas, anything so I can launch better.
