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.
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.
