shock.. dropping the clutch for launching, there is a very slight delay with the standered setup. your only talking split second but if you change gear 4 times on a strip then removing this delay setup should make times a fraction better, plus its ment to give you a more consistent pedal. plus i can do away with the mile of piping to run the slave...

I was just wondering where the wonderful Americanism came from.
In drag speak, 'loading up the tranny' is what you do with a high stall converter on an automatic box when the car is staged.

Nothing to do with your English, or grammar. As said it's an Americanism, and you were talking about a mod popular in America. Simples!
You can't 'load up' a manual box. The biting point is the clutch, not the gearbox (tranny).

Unless you're Antron Brown you'll probably find you have far more to gain by improving your launch and driving technique in general than faffing around trying to save a few 100ths of a second on gear changes.

Suit yourself.
I thought I was being helpful.
I had no idea you were so proficient.
But then again I haven't run in the 9s for at least 20 years so I've obviously lost my touch

Maybe it would be best to put a uk master and slave on the car.

Sell it and buy something quicker, farting about with a master cylinder to try and make up for poor launching technique and lack of power is a waste of time.

Classic and 6 speed ones are slightly different, but bolt up in the same way/place.,

To remove delay valve, you'll need to remove cylinder, undo large bolt/cap remove valve and spring then replace cap.

we dont have the cap on uk models, we have the setup above, no cap. we have 2 pipes coming out of our master cylinder. classic and newage 6sp slaves are the same, classic dont have all the crap on it like the newage (same as america) and also the classic has banjo fitment and newage has brake line male nut fitment.
i wonder if both the pipes coming out of the master cylinder have equal pressure and wouldent matter which one i use, be nice to rig up a dial to see if the pressures are different... im just going to try it both ways using the classic slave..
thanks for the positive input
