Default Clutch loosing its bite?

Its not a big concern right now, just trying to analyze what my car is doing. I have the Cartek clutch, and when I first had it, i would dump it at 5grand on ET Streets. When I did this there would be a bang (the driveline shock) and the car would JERK forward. Now, after 15K miles and several dozen drag strip passes the clutch seems to have lost its bite. I'll dump the clutch at 5grand, and the car will just "move" off the line. Its not "shocking" the driveline any more. Now my 60foots aren't suffering, and it doesn't realy seem to be slipping...but i'm just trying to plan ahead. I didn't know if this was a beginning sign of clutch failure or what.
