How good of a driver are you and how much do you care about your clutch?

(good conditions)5500-6k rpm..clutch dump..control wheel spin with the throttle..once you feel it hooking(possibly via some wheel hop) go full throttle...rev it high and shift hard/fast but relaxed.
clutch will be just fine.

if the track is slippery that day. 4k dump is good enough..
it depends on the conditions really..

I usually launch my civic at about 3200rpm and ride the clutch through most of first to keep the tires from chirpin and then for the first part of 2nd... that's givin me the best times... always full throttle!
