slow slip from ~4000RPM = easy launch.
very quick slip from 5000RPM = rear ended by a semi
note if you launch from 5k and mess up, be prepared to pay the price.
Many people launch from 5k many times with no problems, but many have also broken their trannies. Its a gamble, so be prepared if you decide to take the risk.
Another thing to add... when I launch hard from 5k, I like to bring it up to ~4k RPM, then right before you go, floor it, and as soon as you hit 5k RPM, slip the clutch very quickly and smoothly. You'll know you did it right if you don't smell much clutch and your neck hurts the next day... oh yea and you tranny is still in one peice
