burning the clutch is not what you wanna do. slipping it is what you want.

bring the clutch up right to the point before it engages and hold it there until the last yellow if you're at the track. smoothly and quickly let it out while at the same time giving it more throttle and modulate the two until you get traction. takes practice.

Launch at redline...it's the only way to put the power down correctly.

If you've got a stock motor I wouldn't do more than 4k.

Thats called "wheel hop." Do a search for it, there are several remedies depending on how far your willing to go. i.e. LSD, Various types of Traction Bars, etc.
