what engine you got, what mods you done to it, when was it last serviced, instead of dipping the clutch find the problem and sort it that way

If it's a 16v engine then it won't have a lot of low end torque, so it will only pull well from 2500 upwards. In other words it's perfectly normal for a standard engine to not pull the skin off a rice pudding until it gets going.

get it properly chipped if you want the ultimate flat spot revoval, have the power delivered when you want it, the 16v engine oulnt loose that much low down torque, bit it will have a little less than the 8v.

Sounds to me like you don;t have a flatspot but just the power/torque curve of a normal 16v engine.

i only get flat spots when the cars been stationary for a while and hot air gets sucked in through the induction kit, a flat spot will kill me at a roundabout one day though, very annoying.
a heat shield for the induction kit would help.

I have flat spots - i.e. if I 'm sitting at the lights and I try just pulling away in 1st smoothly - it'll almost cut out and then pick up
Of course if I'm racing someone off the lights - having it at 3-4k rpm and then dropping the clutch in 1st has no flat spot.
