i normally rev it to 2.5k or so if i wanna take off smooth aswell. It's one of the down sides of a grippy clutch/ lightweight flywheel - its really easy to burn the clutch when reversing up hill aswell (i just generally avoid it).
To answer your question (friends question) i normally keep the revs at 2.5k for 1-2 seconds to get the car moving then release relatively quickly after that, its just a matter of playing around with what works for you
With these clutches, it just takes a bit of getting use to. You dont have to rev that high, its just u have to ride the friction point a little longer before letting the clutch completely out, if you want a "smooth" takeoff. Its all a matter of practice

great thx for that. would that eat the clutch alot?
he said to me today that he let the clutch go near friction point and then added gas. seemed to worked for him but still jerky. you guys tried this?

It's probably not good for the clutch to be at 2.5k rpm for an extended time, but with practice I've been able to reduce the time its there to about 1 second. It's generating the initial momentum that's the hard part because the flywheel holds significantly less inertia so it's always trying to stop on you.
I haven't tried the method your friends been using but i might give it a go
is this a street/track used clutch? if yes, some rev shouldnt be that bad for the clutch as if I need to drive really smooth, i need to release the clutch really slowly to prevent shuddering in most gear
ok i jst went for lunch with him and had a good drive. sport organic clutch + spoon fly.
upshifting wasnt so bad just had to wait lil bit to get a smooth shift. add alil gas while u change too.
take off was the hard bit. i find it rev it few times before going gets it off pretty good, even at friction point i bliped the throttle and it went off pretty smooth. bite was great, and clutch was alil harder than OEM.
EK4R i went for a drive today paying special attention to my driving technique... I actually only rev it to 1.5k then hold it at the friction point for a bout 1 second before releasing it completely. 2.5k isn't needed for a smooth take off

lol
seems like i need a lot of practice and may as well remove the engine damper first until i fully control it as it is fxxken shock inside the car =)
