I preload. If you do it correctly you're only ridding the clutch at friction point for less then a second.
You'll probably do more damage to your clutch from a hill start during street driving.
no point buying an high HP clutch when a stock NA wont put out anything close to that, exedy heavy duty holds up very well on most NA cars, yonas even runs it in his 11 sec monster, good 1000hp clutch or 300hp clutch, either will get stuffed if you ride it / use it wrong
I havn't read the whole thread but the way I launch is by preloading like some of you.
I found that it's really effective on street tyres.
Also I have a ceramic clutch waiting to go in my car, they dont get as hot as the organics meaning they wont slip as quickly iirc.
I've been on the same clutch for 2 years and have done over 50+ passes with it without any issues and 99% of the time this has included a pre-loaded launch and a 5,000rpm clutch dump to do a skid in the waterbox.
I guess it all depends on how you drive it and the quality of your clutch.
