Default Launch Control - tried replicating without, got clutch smell

Im getting my car Verso'ed tmo...

I want to get LC (Launch Control) enabled but not too sure how safe it is for my clutch etc.

Watched some videos on youtube, looks like its set at 5500 rpm then just dump the clutch..
I tried doing it just then(Without ECU LC) to see what it would do, revving to 5500 rpm and letting go(prob not quick enough), clutch wasn't happy at all (Was like I sprayed Eau de Clutch in the car!).

So does LC with the ECU work differently? will it destroy my clutch? or does the ECU kind of drop revs once its dumped so as not to break it then push through...

Does anyone here have it on an 06/07 STi? would really appreciate some feedback

Having tough time deciding on getting it or not tomorrow...

EDIT: forgot to mention, still the stock STi clutch
