[DeTomaso] 3.2 gears and clutch life?

[Ken Green]

    I've been told that Larry Stock tried 3,2 gears and ended up cooking clutches.  I'm wondering if that was with a big Holley and a big cam so the engine had to be revved to higher RPM from a standing start?
   
      With EFI and a mild cam (low overlap for turbos), would I have the same problem?  The engine should run much smoother and much better at a lot lower RPM.  I know I can get a higher 5th gear, but I like the spacing of the stock gears.
