It does matter on who's levers your looking at. For the most part your statement is correct. My Ram non CW levers had a lot of built in CW mass. So I bought their CW levers, those also had even more built in CW mass. Then I tried Hyatt billet levers, those were better, but still a lot of mass for my combination. Then what some consider the trick of the week clutch. These levers have pockets milled, and are very thin. These have a considerably better tuning window for my car. Data acquisition has shown how much, and for how long the CW is influencing slip. With the others everything was a trade off.

Joe now you did it!

Now you are going to open a whole new can of worms on using the clutch pedal or not using it! Have a good one.
