Well, yeah, that's the worst possible way to launch. You said you are sitting still while bouncing it off your REV LIMITER?? Meaning you sit there at 7600rpm to launch, and then you dump it? Man, that is unbelievable. That is exactly why Mitsu started putting a 5k launch limiter starting with the 05 models, because kids were doing exactly what you just described. I have no idea where anyone would get the idea to do something like that, but it's a terrible idea - do not do it again and tell everyone you know not to ever do it.
The proper way to launch is to get your RPMs up between 5000-6000rpm, depending on where you're comfortable, and then as the lights come down, slowly let out the clutch until you feel it grab. Right as it grabs and starts to move the wheels, then you hammer the throttle and quickly let off the clutch. It's called "feathering," or it is also referred to as a "quick-slip." It is a method that removes all the drivetrain slack so that there is no shock to the drivetrain. It gives good 60's, is very smooth, and doesn't hurt the drivetrain, but it DOES put a lot of heat into the clutch, so the clutch will wear out faster than if you dump it. However, it's better to change the clutch than to replace the TC or Trans.
Also, I don't know if you're tuned (I sure hope so with all those mods), but if you have a flash, there should be launch control built in. If it's not, then your tuner needs to add it for you. You should not be bouncing off your normal rev limiter - there should be a much lower launch limiter. I set mine at 6000rpm and just let the rpms bounce at the line. This builds boost and helps you be more consistent.
