How are those for chatter and noise on the street?
Why not a hydraulic linkage? If properly constructed they do the same thing - translate 4" or so of foot movement to .040-.060 plate departure, regardless of what kind of levers are used to get it there. Or are you referring to the hydraulic TO bearings which can be problematic...
My car has 2.66 1st, a Centerforce DF, hydraulic linkage (up to a stock fork and TO bearing), and 3.91 gears with 26.7" tall tires. I don't have to slip the clutch (more than normal) to get it moving. Not sure how it'd hold up on the strip though. I'm still in shakedown mode with short street trips.:)
