no dumping the clutch puts pressure on everything even the clutch and relted components
consistently dumping the clutch will result in warped pressure plate/bent, broken, twisted clutch springs (believe me i have fucked many)
think off all you components....engine, flywheel, gearbox, driveshaft, diff... then you rev the motor and dump the clutch, that is putting a hell of a lot of power/stress(as in more than a normal takeoff) through everything, dosnt matter what car you are driving, some cars will handle it better than others, some wont
before i got my current clutch, heavy duty rpm centreforce brass button (clutch spins faster with the revs, reduce wear in clutch) i went through four stock clutches in a year before i decided either i have to change to a stronger clutch or change my driving habits....
in the ra65 i usually rev to about 1500rpm then dump the clutch theres minor wheelspin but the front of the car lifts up and shes away
but in the ta22 (2tg, different clutch) i rev to about 3000rpm and slightly ride the clutch to get the bitch going, as there is no low down torque, i guess it comes down to what car you are driving and where the power lies
best bet would be to get it down the quarter mile on a test and tune day (cost about $10) try a few different techniques then make a decision based on your results
cheers
