Proper S2000 Launch technique.

Proper S2000 Launch technique.
first off: I know theres many threads about launching the s2k. however both have mixed opinions on what is proper technique.
the first technique seems to be dumping/ side stepping the clutch at like 7k or so revs.
people argue that this will cause damage to the drive train.
The second technique seems to be somewhat of a slip of the clutch as to save shock from the drive train.
people argue that this is wrong and will fry your clutch.
__________________________________________________ _________________
now the way I launch (technique taken from launching my subie back then) was to let the clutch out just before it caught. rev. then let the clutch out/catch. keep pedal to the metal. push clutch down/disengage/slip when revs started dropping to prevent bogging.
I did this to prevent drive train shock (AWD back then)
but others swear by the clutch drop method.
which one is the right way to do it? is there a right way at all?
- thanks

when i launch i ussually dump the clutch anywhere from 4 to 5.5K is this bad??? From what i just read dumping the clutch higher in the powerband is better for the drivetrain? Just doesnt seem to make sence to me but hey im no professional

Hopefully that clarifies things, as it seemed counterintuitive to me at first as well.
