So engaging the clutch at 1,200 -1,500 RPM, do you allow the RPM's to fall a bit as the clutch engages and the car begins moving? Or do you modulate the throttle to keep the RPM's steady as you fully engage the clutch? Tough question, I realize.

With my near-bog technique/habit, I'm modulating the throttle to keep it around 1k, as I've got to to keep it from stalling.
