For a first timer follow Bears advice. Just do your normal quick street start, imagine you are at the traffic lights next to another bike.
If you try for a high RPM launch you'll scare the shit out of yourself. A normal quickish street take off is the way to go at first, you'll be suprised at how fast that is.
Dan the only answer is practice, sounds like you are already doing the right thing. Keep practicing and you will get quicker irrespective of your weight.
I launch at 7000 to 7500 rpm, otherwise the turbo bogs down. Normally aspirated was 5-6000rpm
