No fast launch! I am still getting used to this clutch and the response of the 617, so it may be that it gets better. I tend to baby clutches, and not ride them. My gut is that it will never be deep enough for fast launch, unless I want to go through clutches.

I plan on experimenting a bit with it, since I have 205-15's and the stock rear. I do LOTS of highway miles, and will take slowness off the line for the better highway mileage.

I haven't studied the diff issue; has anyone swapped in a higher (lower??) ratio diff? Is one available? Seems I remember a discussion of this on one of the 4-sp swap threads.
