if u drop it... u iwll replace it
If you want to throw someone in their seat....
Rev the car around 2500 then nail the gas and keep it floored... as the RPM's climb to 5500 drop the clutch and DO NOT LET OF THE GAS! When you hit 6500 shift... good for sub 1.8/ high 1.7 60ft's

so basically slipping like 1QWKEVO said is, keeping at 2500 while staging, then launching and leaving the clutch semi-engaged and once the car is moving and reaches 5500, then come off the clutch entirely and just go?...
sorry, but just trying learn the tricks

rev to 3.5-4.5k, bounce it in between. When ready, rev to 6k+, sidestep.
the clutch should grip...and you want to try and induce a bit of tirespin. a 5k dump will most likely cause a bog + lots of tranny stress(i think). Slipping is hard to do, you might slip not enough which will result in a crappy launch, or too much and bog, or just end up with a glazed clutch.
Idealling(I think) you'll tirespin, accelerate very quickly and the tach should drop from 6k immediately to 3-4k~. That means it engaged and with the tires spinning hopefully there wanst much tranny stress. (tho any sort of non slipping launch I think will cause small to very large painful amounts of stress)
if you dump it at 6k and the rpms dont drop...then your clutch is slipping which is bad, so let off.
