6-7k rpms should do the trick a bit better depends on your tyre setup or clutch release technique as well!

Hopefully there wasn't any clutch smell afterwards?

7k drop works good for me. But any of this seems just far too abusive on the car.

If he was moving six inches over 4 gears, he was cooking breakfast on his clutch plate The S02s would hook up the first moment he shifted.
