This is a good point. Actually, one way to nail it down/enhance your current skill level quickly is to break it down into 2 stages of practice.
1] Clutch isolation. Practice letting off the clutch very slowly
without any gas on level ground. Repeat this meany times and take mental note of where you feel it engaging/where the car starts to move (aka the friction zone). Repeat this until you capture that "feel" in your muscle memory. This will program your left foot to operate so you won't have to think about it.
2] Clutch/gas combination. Apply gas very lightly at that friction zone. A bit more gas gets you past the friction zone sooner, a bit less means you stay in the friction zone longer. Depending on how well you've mastered stage 1 (clutch only), this stage should be cake.
