Default how the hell do I stop bucking from a large cam

I just swappped a 6 speed in my car. right now I am on 3.42 gears and the car bucks real hard below 2500rpm. How do I stop the bucking? I have never driven a car with a big clutch in it (spec stg 3). I don't really want to ride the clutch at low speeds. 4.10s are going in tonight hopefully they will help, but does anyone have any advise?

Mine does it, you just have to kinda lean how to drive it. Mine wont buck anymore, because I am a good driver.

If you let the clutch out real shitty, it'll buck. Let it out nice when your slow rolling. Tuning is an issue too.

All in the tuning

My MS4 doesn't buck at all untill it is around 1100 RPM

Gears will help also

Just takes practice. I"m in the same boat. .605 lift cam. Stock rear and just put in a new clutch. Just have to give it another gas. My tune is pretty good. Just go out and practice more. Thats what I have been doing.

Tuning. Gears.
And when the bucking starts, the natural reaction is to let out of the gas. Don't. Mine stops if I lay into it instead.
