I can agree with this. Im not sure how much of this our clutch will take. I am curious to find out. Ive launched at 3500 about 6 times since buying my car last Feb. Still no problems...yet.lol Sure thatll change under boost though.

If I shift to 2nd anywhere below 3K RPM, I get super rough loud clunking in the undercarriage... the flywheel maybe?

It sure does buckle a lot when shifting early. Sucks that in stop and go traffic your shifts have to be done earlier in the RPM range (correct me if I'm wrong)

I learned to just ride out in 1st gear until the traffic gets moving a little bit, then shift to 2nd... then back to 1st when it slows down again.
