Yea, I don't blame the clutch. I've been launching the car with it since 2011 and I just pulled my trans a few weeks ago and it looks great still...No problem. I found it doesn't need to be slipped much at all. If you slip it too much it will bog. Is that what it is doing? It looks like you have a 2g, did you remove the restrictor?
This clutch is very capable! Mine has five seasons of racing on it and still working great.
In the past if I slip it too much I'm riding the clutch coming off the line and it makes for a slow launch, if I dump it the car just bogs because I get too much traction with the Hoosier radials so RPM's drop. Last season I finally figured out the RPM I needed to launch it at to get the tires turning without bogging but I was having issues with the car after hitting the rev limiter leaving the line I'd lose a cylinder. The car's been a PITA the last couple years, hoping I get all the bugs out of it and can figure out the front half of the track.
