Stick car, too much clutch?

Put just enough base in it to launch the car , and throw in a little c'weight. Thats alI do.........I dont play around with c'weight , dont mess with base much either. Watching a playback tach can sometimes tell you if you need more weight as the needle will bounce around. With my Nash 5 speed , 23 degree 355 , at 3000 lbs Ive run 9.60s at 138 n change.........must not be that far off........but the bottom line is this , without a data logger and historical logs you're going to work yourself to death playing with that clutch.

I also want to add , my advice is for clutch assisted stuff.........and breakage? Rarely
