Shouldn't be slower on uptake. More clamp load means the spring will push the pedal up faster, if anything.
USDM cars have clutch interlocks. Meaning you need to push the clutch to start the car. You'd want to bypass that with a thumb operated switch.
You install a momentary switch that you can push. Then you start the car. That way, you don't have to push the clutch pedal down to start it.

I read on this forum of USDM guys experiencing crank walk horrors as a result of the interlock...or perhaps some other factors around that feature. "Idiot proof" feature to prevent the odd pushing start button while the car is in gear lol.
A switch sounds like a better, cooler option actually.

I just put the ACT OEM combo into my ap2 along with an act 11lb flywheel and really like how it feels. Pedal is maybe a little heavier than stock but not bad by any means and it does grab nicely. The new flywheel is a must if you have an AP2 and are putting a clutch in. Totally transforms the car.

that's pretty light dude! Is our stock flywheel 14 or 11lb? How does the car feel pulling up the odd steep-ish incline if you ever encounter those?

Stock is around 14lbs. You might need a couple of starts to adjust but after that there is no problem.
I don't even got a idle control valve so it's way more sensitive because of that but still no big deal.
On last car inspection the lady that had to drive my car did stall it 4 or 5 times though

No IACV - how does this work and why?

AP1 Stock is 14lbs but AP2 is like 22lbs. I debated between the lighter ACT flywheel and went with the 11lbs and am happy with it. I mean I took 11 lbs off the car just by doing that. Like I said the ACT PP feels a little different from stock but I can't say it feels drastically different from OEM. A little heavier and I suppose it comes up faster but you get used to it pretty fast. I still have to put my AP1 slave cylinder on and the spoon braided clutch line I have. Might tackle that this weekend.

OEM clutch pedal feel varies greatly from car to car because of the grease drying up and disc/PP wear (and/or other factors as well?)... I've seen a huge range of pedal feel from different s2000's factory clutches
My OEM clutch pedal feel was in the middle of that range that I've seen and my ACT PP feels the same as my OEM did
