[DeTomaso] what is the purpose of the long throw clutch slave?

On my monitor screen the stock bore measures 28mm and the long throw 24mm. Since force will proportional to surface area of the pistons (I think) 28 squared over 24 squared = 1.36 ratio, so effort will be 36% higher with the long throw and it should throw 36% further. 

I don't think it would just be the diameter of the pistons. Jack?

 is between stock vs. long throw...
