I have driven a twin plate on a loopy cam (8200 RPM peak) which was
entertaining. This was in Dallas and we were trying to avoid alerting cops
in a 5 mile radius. So launches were  slightly pedestrian affair allowing a
few mustangs to get a cars lengh ahead. Get clutch up finally and boot it
and we're off. I have to admit to liking really long (75MPH) first gears if
the car will handle it. Allows you to concentrate in those first 4 seconds
on staying in a straight line. NB this wasn't my car, just same type. I'm
still umming about clutch for mine. I think I need a few more years tuning
first.

Funny, over here I would use correct to describe OEM and 'right' to describe
the 'Bruce optimised' version. Maybe Churchill was right :-)
