well if your trying to launch something with serious power, just dumping the clutch will get you nothing but smoke. on the other hand, if you're launching a cavalier and you try dumping the clutch on that sucker, you'll most likely bog or stall... launching is something that'* gotta be learned hands-on rather than taught... just try and experiment with different rpm'* and you hit the sweet spot,...
