What kind of suspension you got on that car? I can't begin to tell you the difference I noticed (for the better) when I went to Eibach/KYBs or Eiback/Tokicos from old-and-busted stockers. Much easier to launch and the wheel hop was less of an issue, though when it did hop it felt like the front end was going to explode

rev matching does nothing for the clutch. It's much better for your synchros because they have less work to do, but as long as that pedal goes in & out, rev-match all you want but it's still taking a toll on the clutch.
Unless of course you're talking about rev-matching and banging CLUTCHLESS shifts
I'm actually pretty good at that, though the MTX-IV is a difficult trans to master. In my old 91+ I'd usually clutch the 1-2, but then rev-match the rest of the upshifts without using the clutch. Clutchless downshifting is much harder; I could occasionally get down to 3rd, but the 3-2 always had me grinding. 2-1 however is a snap... just casually roll to a near-stop, foot off the gas and keep pressure on the stick trying to engage first. It should magically click in-without the clutch-at under 5mph. Of course, don't come to a complete stop once that happens
I couldn't do it fast, but clutchless shifting would always fascinate the kids who didn't think it could be done
