With more seat time I think you'll get things figured out so that you hit the clutch in time to prevent it from hitting the rev limit. What mike said also helps. If your motor is spinning up so fast that the crank has enough momentum to keep the RPMs going up even after you clutch, you should raise your rev limit a couple hundred RPM to allow the motor to free-rev after the clutch is pressed without bumping the fuel cut. The other option is to setup full throttle shifting w/ anti-lag in the AEM. LOL.
