Launch help!
You should be at your target rpm. I go for 6300-6500rpm. I am using the 2-step launch so I sit there for a sec or two at that target rpm. Once the lights go you have to release quickly. If you are trying to cut a 60' that is 1.8 or better you don't have much time to be feathering out the clutch. As stated before it need to be a quick controlled motion. I seem to get the best results sort of stutter stepping it out as mentioned. I quickly release the clutch petal out until the clutch begins to engage then pause for a moment before quickly fully releasing. The pause is to keep the rpm from falling off to much.

the only way you are going to understand it is by doing it yourself. after a few tests on your own you should have the feel and that "sweet spot" on your car to get out of the hole quickly.

launching your car in general will cause your clutch to wear down...if you're worried about wear, dont launch your car...
but if you dont care, just follow the instructions and you will LEARN how your car launches, more practice will get you accustomed to doing it the right way.
so practice, practice, practice.

To minimize wear on the clutch, try not to do too many launches in a row, as heat will gradually build up and it'll wear even faster. I don't do any back-to-back launches.
And I think tim85851 had pretty much the best explanation of how to practice your launch.
