You're still going to accelerate and apply the full torque of the engine to the drivetrain, thats unavoidable. Riding the clutch while taking off doesnt reduce any of the torque through the drivetrain. Not dumping the clutch at 7,000 rpm is a good thing.... since shock loads (drag launches) are whats going to destroy your drivetrain.
