Launching in 2nd gear?

I have a 94 z28 m6. I currently have a spec 4 clutch. I was wondering if the clutch could handle a hard launch in 2nd gear on boost. I wanted to leave some nice long black tire marks down the street. I just want to make sure it would not be too much stress on my clutch. But then again it's made for that since it's a spec 4

I have a stage 3 ceramic and had a kevlar, i use to luanch in 2nd with my 93 6speed mainly because with the 4:10's the gears with that gear box were way too short. You can luanch in 2nd, obviously it will wear out the clutch much more quickly but i luanched my car in 2nd gear 5 times and afterwards drove it fairly normally for an additional 8 months. Before tryin to luanch it in 2nd gear the clutch was about 4 months old.
