Default Getting a good launch?

For those of you who feather dump the clutch at 3500 to 4000 to get a good launch, can i ask a few questions.

1. does the tach ever go above 4K or is that where it starts to grab.
2. Where do you start your left foot on the clutch when you start to launch.
a) clutch foot is in all the way
b) at that breaking point or point where the clutch is about the grab.

Or someone can just explain in alittle bit more detail what the tachometer is doing and what your feet are doing.
i'm tired of smoking the clutch and tired of bogging.
thanks
