If the clutch is brand new (ie, less than 1K on it) it'll be a bit grabby. Do a couple takeoffs in 3rd @ around 3-4K (just get the car rolling, then drop to 2nd) and it'll get some material transferred to the flywheel side and smooth things out.

My motorcycle (I know, wet clutch vs dry clutch, still same principals) had a very grabby clutch. I did that (in 2nd, 5 speed gearbox with 3 OD's), a fwe times, and that tamed it.

My (old) truck, I did a take off in 5th (of 5) and BURNED that clutch. Kind of overdid it, but it wasn't grabby, nice and smooth.
