And frankly, most of the stockers were the same way.
There certainly were good clutches out there, but I would say that many were still running heavier clutches with more pressure then they do now. We ran SSBS with an old Long style pressure plate and a rag disk. If we ran the clutch we run in our stocker now in our old SSBS Camaro, I am sure we would have picked up quite a bit.
