    Back in the day I had a diaphram pressure plate between a 331 SBC & rock crusher 4 speed. I had the same problem at the track, shifting over 7g, the clutch pedal would stay on the floor. Switched to a 3 finger pressure plate & the problem went away. Different geometry with the 3 finger.
    BTW: I had an aluminum flywheel & Hilborn Stack injection on it. That little small bock was about as snappy as a 2 cycle, that is as long as I kept the injection tuned, which was a constant struggle.

    As a side story I had a guy at the track tell me I didn't know how to shift. The next week back with the 3 finger clutch the guy said "I see you've been practicing" If he hadn't been bigger than me, I woulda' decked him.
