"feathering" the clutch is what you do when you let off the pedal slow enough not to stall when driving normally.... in racing terms... dont just let of the clutch all at once and hope for the best, ride it a bit... and 7K rpms is too high... try about 4500..
also, what is your rear tire pressure?

Hi I Was Running With 28 Psi Back And 30 Psi On Front . I Did Try To Go At 5000 But Almost Got Beat By A Gti Turbo . When I We Went Again The Same Day Rev At 7000 I Won By More Since Then I Have Been In High Rev .

no, 4.5k is more than sufficient for a 2.00 60'.

After reading your post I would recommend you kill yourself.

The 8 is a twisties machine for twisted drivers like me. Not a drag machine. Second mortgage your house for a GT-R. That will get you down the strip.
