try to feather the clutch a little when you launch at 4500. Anonther thing just dont dump it let it out at a descent rate but dont dump it, that may be why you are spining.

I feather it from about 7k, easier to control in my opinion...

too much spin, let off the clutch a little... not going fast enough, let it out more.

Once it engauges, floor it.
