This technique is called torque-braking. By bringing the torque converter up to its stall-speed, then releasing the brake, you launch directly into the sweet spot of the powerband. If you want a quicker launch, try holding it at a slightly lower rpm. Also try lowering your front tire pressures (but only for a short period of time!).
