Is that ok? or is it going to f-ck up my clutch?

2) Lighter than Moser. Only 15lbs heavier than stock.
3) Should not whine. No break in procedure required.
4) The $1818 setup has been perfectly fine on 600rwhp cars. (I would prolly do the DS the same time +$250 = $2065).
What could sound better?

Right now im just on "pause" status before purchasing a rearend and thats because I heard a "possible" rumor of a place that makes Ford 9" rearends for $700. I know! I had the same look on my face too. I should be able to know if thats true or not within the week. Supposedly the guy makes them as a side job. Ill find out the story..
Back to the post:
Ok let me get a couple of more answers on my earlier question.
Is it FINE to slip the clutch like that or not?
I had a friend that said its fine only for a couple of times before something happens. Does he know what he is talking about? Am I frying my clutch or hurting anything when I do so?
need more information. more feedback

Launch at a lower rpm and let the clutch out harder. No need to slip at 5000rpm for a good ET without breaking the axle. Its a good way to glaze the disk. Just let the clutch out hard at 3k...I've run several 1.7 60s on the stock axle by soft dumping at 3500...but then again it did finally break. You just have to make sure the axle is loaded before you dump the clutch, so the freeplay doenst stack up and "slam" the axle.
