I had an 8.80 Tbird with a lenco and put a McLeod hyd unit in it. Had a single disk McLeod iron unit. Had a delay box and had to run around 1.1 in the box just like with mechanical linkage so I didn't see the hyd setup as not being able to respond quickly. Also don't see the problem with a cable. I am thinking about one in the SSGT I'm building. As long as it is kept lubricated and not tied in a knot I think it will work. I would guess the Fox body Mustangs that came with cable still run them in Stock. And the cars with hyd still run it. My car will be a SS car so it is only used on launch. In an A-body Mopar the drivers side is pretty busy with header, starter and t-bar all fighting for room. Keep the linkage out of there and free up a little space.
I have heard the in S and SS you cant run Hyd or cable but I can't find it in the rulebook. Maybe one of those things, if it doesn't say you can, you can't
