You've had 10 MT's so you "know" how to drive, yet you still wonder whether routinely dumping the clutch at 6k RPM will break anything
I'll stop trolling now.
In my last post I was just trying to give you some advice. Break the clutch in for at least a few hundred miles. Dumping at high RPM doesn't mean fastest (probably make a couple tenths of a second difference in a 1/4m). Sure, doing it a handful of times it most likely won't destroy anything, but if you routinely do it, it'll cause a problem.
