most aftermarket clutches can handle a bit of slipping, is the stock clutches that don't do well once they heat up.

When I say a controlled release, I mean, the release should be as fast as possible without actually dumping the clutch and minimal slippage. It's a technique that takes practice to master. It's only use for the sole purpose of preventing breakage of any mechanical parts.

Once you master the technique, then you should be adjusting your launch RPM in order to curb or control any kind of bogg or excessive tire spin during take off. Every car is different and it may take your own technique to be totally comfortable and get it right where you want it, but patience and perseverance will get you there. Best of Luck.
