I do some of the things you mention, but use a line lock and a 2step i set up on HPT out of the hole. I ease up on the clutch just till I fell it start to feel it load up the drive line, the hard part is taming your excitment and left foot and try to roll off the clutch to prevent a bog but slip it fast enough to make a decent 60', looking into a clutch tamer for next year.

I hear that. I've played with it a little on the street in other stick cars I've owned and the balance of slip of the clutch, the tires etc is a definite chore. That clutch tamer thing, that's a flow reducing valve right? Is there a way it only functions for first gear? The ones I've seen in the past were purely mechanical, haven't looked into them in years to see if they have on that can be electro-mechanical and switched on and off.
"NOTE- for those who may be skeptical of adding clutch slip after the shifts, there is a cheap/simple way to effectively enable the ClutchTamer only during launch- a drop-out spacer installed between the dash bracket and the delay ****."

Im looking at the pneumatic style clutch tamer from Weedburner, apparently he can also make it so it only slips on the initial clutch dump and not the up shifts

I feel that there's an electronic one out there that can be switched on and off but I didn't want to say that without knowing so I don't give bad info. Gonna look.

Here's a couple. There's probably other options, I saw a few pics with different brands and just picked these two.

With these the solenoid lets you turn it on and off whenever or however.

You run the tamer to solve the launch problem. No clutch needed for face plated shifting. I know Hio has been face plated for years with a button clutch. Ive run a button clutch before as well but no face plating. I wonder what setup is in the blue fastest GM 6 speed Camaro?

monster triple is big and heavy compared to a button. No need for that much holding power either. QM double and stock flex plate weighed 18# IIRC, rated for 600fwhp and they offer other disc materials to hold more power. You'd be amazed just how much easier it is to shift with just a light small clutch. Doesnt hit the tires as hard either. Just going to a 20 to 30 pound setup like the monster 8.5" or the spec mini twin (8" I believe) will be totally different. The QM I had was a 7.25" fwiw

A light clutch soaks up less energy. So if you do break traction the rear tires and rpm will tend to **** off on you faster as there's less holding the engine back
