imolas4, i know "fanning" or "glazing" the clutch isnt good at all, but wouldn't you agree that it is the "fastest" way of the line,if done correctly,even know it fries the clutch?

It's all relative...
If you are slipping the clutch, then no, it's not the fastest way - because it's slipping! If you can get it to bite at higher revs, then that is good. I suggested the rpms above because they are well proved to be within the stock clutch's range for maintaining a bite. (Of course if the clutch has been glazed, then those numbers are too high.) Anything over those revs and the chances increase for slippage, which leads to glazing. Remember, if the clutch is glazing, then it has gone well past the point of just slipping. You want the fastest revs that still allow for the maximum clutch plate bite.
