Elementary question for stick cars

ok, I use to wait till top bulb came on then matted throttle, the car seemed to bog some through first gear. I was told to matt it before tree came down, this would clean out the extra fuel in manifold make for a cleaner launch, I tried it, picked up .02 in sixty foot, worth .04 at end of track. no more bogging ! just something to consider.

ok ,
Thanks guys. I just felt 2 750's WFO on the 2 step will be dumping a lot of fuel in the manifold.........
As I said.......... I am part throttle on the 2 step then mat the throttle WHEN I LET THE CLUTCH OUT. I don't think this is the best way.
What I was saying is , I believe the car will leave HARDER WFO on the 2 step............as opposed to what I was doing.

I have 2 stick shift stockers, one I leave on the chip but at part throttle , the other on the chip full throttle , it depends on alot of variables. You gotta just try it at the track
