NO dont dump clutch at 6,000RPM unless you want your car in for a blown tranny. Since you got a better clutch that can hold better and doesnt wear like the piece of crap clutch they tossed in from the factory, now you can slip it a little. Go to about 4,500 RPM pull off of clutch till you feel where its about to let go, thenwhen the green light flash's smoothly lift the clutch while you floor the gas pedal. That should stick you in the seat. you might get some clutch smell, but better that than you car warranty going void cause thats what they will do when you take it in. Cause mitsu has the worst service in the world and i cant wait till they go out of business.

If you dump at 7000 Rpm, it could break the tranny, likely, but with an aftermaket single disk clutch, if you dump at 7000 RPM it could induce wheel spin, which is actually beneficial to tranny, because you're transferring all the power to the wheels spinning and not the tranny.

I have the Cusco carbon two disk, I bring it up to 5k and feather the clutch at full throttle. The clutch can handle slipping, so can the tires. The tranny is safer that way, no abrupt surge. If you get clutch chatter (feels like wheel hop) OR wheel hope, pull back or stop completely, those are the real destroyers of trannys and worse T-Cases.

Always slip it a little bit no matter what clutch otherwise u'll hear a bang
btw I also have the Act with Fidanza and love the way it works and IMO not worth another $400 for a twin.

If you dump at any RPM you run the risk of breaking teeth on your gears. It's like hitting them with a hammer. Always slip enough to let them touch before letting go.

You get a better launch too if you slip enough to let the boost build.

jus remember that something always has to take the pressure.
better the clutch or tires take it than ur tranny.
once something slips ...it's all good
