I think a 12 second stock slip is possible in a HR car up here in the northeast. Not because our tracks are better but the DA advantage. The power to weight ratio seems about right to me. Its gonna take a solid pass and great conditions but I think its possible. If the slave is up to it is another story. Does keeping the fluid fresh help out at all?

I popped the cap off of the slave cylinder the other day, and noticed the fluid was down a little. I added fluid, then pumped the clutch for about 30 seconds, before placing the cap back on. I noticed a lot of dark matter coming up in the fluid, didn't look good.
After that, I noticed much improved clutch response, especially during a couple of hard launches. I may try it again at the track, and see what happens.
