Had my first semi-launch on my VAST kevlar clutch and stage 3 power.

I was at a light and an STI pulled up next to me and revved HARD. That thing was incredibly loud and surely not stock - test pipes maybe and who knows what else.
So I revved back and the driver and friend kinda laughed as if to say "whatever, dude". So it goes green and I launch and they do as well. Went to maybe 70-75 mph and shut it down. I don't know how many cars I had them by - they were well out my peripheral and I shut down and hit the brakes hard to make my turn. They roared by and gave thumbs up.
Conclusions:
* Love the clutch... will report more with a full stage 3 review when I get the proper ECU back.
* Even running just 20psi peak (for now), the modded STI did not fare well.
* I need a better boost gauge pod!! The thing fell out during the launch!! Perhaps time to drill the vent.
Note: I changed my screen name because I never liked it. Friends call me The Godfather, so it seemed more fitting...

So when breaking in a new SB Stage 4 clutch can I "get on it" once in gear and clutch fully engaged?
