It's pretty much impossible to produce throwout bearing pressure curves like these with your foot...

Just going from my experience that's all been doing it for years .Like I said it takes practice and coordination ,but its very doable and I've proven it several times over!

The clutch tamer seems like a great tuning tool for sure , but if you know your car well enough the left foot does just fine also in a street car with occasional track use.

And, I would say much faster and easier then adjusting the air gap on a slipper clutch. You convinced me, at 69 I don't have years to learn with my left foot.

Neat deal although I do not think it would be legal in stock or super stock.
