Like I said...IF you have to use it, they work.
The issue I have is it actually slips the clutch. I still don't like that. Using the levers and counterweight, you actually control the engagement of the clutch. That's a HUGE difference.
I also have to remember that some guys will NEVER want to learn to tune a clutch. And some guys will never spend the money for a good clutch. It's like stepping on your own dick. If you can't get them to buy a good clutch, and learn to tune it, then his is the only other option there really is.
It's better that beating the **** out of the car and the tire, breaking parts and going slow. I'm still never going to say slipping the clutch is the best, quickest way to get the car moving and not breaking parts. It's not. But the alternative is breaking parts. It's the lesser of two evils.
We also disagree on what a correct clutch graph looks like. But that's neither here nor there, because the guys who won't spend money on a clutch, won't have on board data logging.
So that's why I say use it if you have to. The best way is still to use the clutch to control its engagement, and by that I mean once the clutch is out, the disc is fully loaded between the pressure plate and flywheel. Rather than the Clutch Tamer holding the pressure plate off the disc and slipping it. Again, two totally different ways of doing essentially the same thing.
While I'm at it...it's 2020 almost. Why in the purple popcorn hell are people STILL using still flywheels? It's silly. It beats the hell out of the car, and the tire and makes tuning the chassis 10 times harder. Especially the Stroker guys.
Back in the day (when drag racing was actually cool and you had Modified Eliminator and not just junky Comp Elimininator...which I like BTW...just not nearly as much as Modified) when you had under 300 inch engines moving 3000 pound plus cars, and the heads were weak you needed a 50-60 pound flywheel just to get the thing to move.
You can YouTube Modified Elimininator and watch how cool they were. Dry hops are still cool. You can here how long it takes for the RPM's to come back down after it was revved up. Or how you had to feather the RPM up to leave. No two steps. Just dudes with balls that had to be wheeled in on flat bed trucks.
I'm truly stuck in the wrong generation.
Ok, I can feel a migraine coming on...
