Clutch Break-In Rules:

I know that during break-in of a clutch, every launch and gear shift should be smooth and I should baby the clutch. No power shifting, chirping gears etc. But once the car is in gear, is it ok to punch the gas? Since the disc is no longer spinning against the flywheel, it does not affect the wear of the disc, am I correct? Any one else have good suggestions for break-in?

c, i put my intake in, and it roars SOOO nicely at WOT, i guess i gotta stop doing that even if the clutch is all the way up.... oh well... , but if it is worth it for the life of the clutch, then i guess it is the right thing to do.
