No wonder every Spec clutch I've ever driven felt like a big piece of ass. They don't even know how to control how much ass it feels like!

Clamping force x pressure plate ratio x transmission lever ratio x (master diameter / slave diameter) x pedal ratio. Assuming your ratios go the right way, that's correlates pedal force and plate force. This is 100 year old stuff here.

Make sure to take pics!
