Does anyone have any driving tips on how to adjust to this thing? Being able to take off from a light without stalling and looking like a tool would be welcome!

There is no clutch adjustment, only free play. As has been described above, assuming you didn't install some whacky "race" clutch or you hear some strange sounds (bad through-out bearing), I would start with being sure all levers and springs are correct, cable moves easily, and finally the pedal assembly.
