Default Launch control

I am currently driving a 2014 Vette without the Z package.
Launch control works fine under maximum power. What I would appreciate learning is if launch control can be used to minimize wheelspin in less than full power starts and how to initialize it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

That would defeat the purpose of Launch control which is to apply the most power that it can without blowing the tires up in smoke

Anything else can be done with the gas pedal and traction control

Launch control utilizes full power WOT acceleration only.
