preloading is the best way to ruin you clutch , so if you're ready to spend $$ on numerous clutch kits go ahead, yes the preloading method seems to work well because you dont lose traction as much and you get a nice 'zippy' start.
But for the best way to achieve good times and not have your clutch sh it itself within a few runs is finding the perfect line between maximum rpm and traction when you dump the clutch. It is very difficult to get traction this way on street tyres, but the most effective and least damaging to your clutch. If you run stickies you will have no problem with this and will get the best 60 ft, Especially if you are using launch control.
Either way both methods will work within moderation, excess of either will cause future problems as I see it, I was simply taking advice from someone whos had alot of experiance on the strip
If your on street tyres... pre-loading is a good technique. You'll want to pre-load around 3000-4000rpm depending on how much power you have. Pre-loading will reduce axle tramps and lower those 60ft. Try it next time it might help
