    I launch at about 2500rpm. I Don't just dump the clutch either. Feather it out a little so you don't sit on the line and smoke your tires.

      Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that a good way to fry a stock clutch?

          I'm talking about the difference between 'sidestepping the clutch' and hammering it. Sidestepping applies a percentage of pressure used to engage the disc so the launch will not be as hard. Problem is that this allows more material to sheer off of the disc since it is slipping. Check your bellhousing for all of the disc material that will be in there. I know drag racing is hard on disc/clutches but you might as well get everything out of it while it still works.
