Hope you have deep pockets buddy...lol.
Lots can go wrong...clutch, snap an axle. Bust your Transfer case.
That's why you build it to take the punishment. Like engine bushings and suspenion bushings to try and keep everything in it's place under hard launches. A clutch that will get the job done and not be overkill.
The factory clutch is a wear and tear item and is not covered. As a tech, I know when I see a clutch that has been abused. Heat causes bluing, glazing. Your done...hand over $1600...lol

On the stock clutch you can pretty much dump it. On anything else you have to be a bit more civilized and walk it up at a decent pace removing driveline slack and not shocking the system.
In most cases an aggressive launch will result in wheel spin. Sometimes it will result in wheel hop. Wheel hop is very dangerous.

start launching conservatively. Slowly move to launching more aggressively. Once you smell your clutch burning, back off.
As everyone stated above me you have to pay to play.

same ishh happened to me, now my clutch is not grabbing.. i step on the gas and it revs before it actually speeds up causing my turbo to spool up after 3600 rpms then my car just launches so i dont have a normal cruising speed anymore until i get a new clutch. dont even go for a new stock clutch just get yourself a brand new ACT clutch or Clutchmasters clutch for around $500 bucks.
