Launching a Base Box

[truegearhead]

Last Saturday I attended an autoX school and was able to complete 20 or so runs! I experimented a lot with launching the car and I don't think I ever got it down. Running BMWs in the past I didn't have any trouble using a little clutch and gasing it off idle. The Boxster's low power and high grip really struggles with this approach, I need to use a lot of clutch to make it happen. Approach 1 is dropping the clutch at 3K, and approach 2 is using a lot of clutch to prevent bogging. Who knows which is worse for the car, probably both but I'd like to stick with the clutch drop. How do these transmissions hold up under this kind of abuse? Should I change my strategy? What are you guys doing?
