Is it possible to feather a stage 3 clutch while reving 3-4K or does it just grab and then blast off?

KBF is infamous around these parts
How do you avoid the wheel hop and still get good 60ft times?

Practice, practice, practice. It is almost in b/n slipping and dumping the clutch, hard to explain.

No load - no boost.

Blip the throttle...maybe a few PSI at best.

Thats way too sensible

Again...more sound advice . obviously wont be taken tho.

Practice here, before you break something truly expensive

Sound advice and cheaper to try here than experimenting on ones own expensive machine. No ever listens to good advice tho .

Ok.......then again....if youve got a potload of tear up dollars to get rid of then perhaps try this one out...

1) Rev the engine up till it is bouncing off the rev limmiter and pin the pedal to floor with right foot.
2) Depress clutch and Select 1st gear,
3) Place head firmly back into headrest.
4) Step left foot sideways off the clutch pedal.
5) Wait for loud bang.
6) Turn off engine.
7) Call tow truck
8) Bring very large wallet (or cheque book) to P dealer for immediate emptying. (Have a box of tissues handy).

Good idea ?
