Feels like I might need to let up on the gas before the shift?

no problems with the other gears.
For the fastest launch, which is a real clutch killer, you need to get the revs up really high, around 6500 RPM, then start to let the clutch out and simultaneously, floor the throttle and hold it on the floor, then modulate the clutch so the motor doesn't bog down, over-rev or spin the tires.
