If you want to hard dop the clutch in the Crossie, you are going to have to drill out the hydraulic delay valve in the system. It simply won't let you do it.

Might be a big key to getting into the 13's. As the 2 sec 60 foot time slips indicate, launch is klunky on these cars.

Lot a work though. I'm not doing it until my first clutch overhaul.
