10 bolt longevity

Hey I'm new here and I've been searching the posts for awhile looking for an answer but I can't seem to find one. I have a 1995 Z28 M6 with some bolt-ons. I just got the rear axle totally rebuilt with new bearings, seals, Superior axles, Eaton posi, 4.10 Motive gears, solid pinion spacer, and TA diff. cover with bearing preload caps. After its broken in I'll probably take it to the track 2 or 3 times this summer. Anyways here's my question, how would I go about launching the car on drag radials without watching my precious money turn into a bunch of little pieces as I leave the line? I'm smart enough not to dump the clutch at 4-5 grand especially with my SPEC kevlar clutch thats in the car but how about slipping it from 4 grand? Would that get me off the line quick enough to get a good 60 ft.? And also I can't powershift with my foot to the floor anyway so I won't even try that. To make a long story short how can I get good times without destroying my fragile little 10 bolt? Sorry its so long and thanks for any info

dump it at 3k or so It still might break. but you shold be fine for as little as you plan to run. The spec clutch is going to make it even worse.
