I understand that the differences in low end torque delivery aren't there, I've seen some dynos to. But I wonder if that was a part of the design, to make it slip some at high rpm so it can be spun faster at low rpm without over spinning it. Kinda reminds me of quick bleed down lifters if that is the case.

If it was, then they failed miserably since the boost curves are identical with other centrifugal boost curves.
Also: Have you ever seen the clutch-packs removed from an automatic transmission after they've been overpowered? Even with plenty of cooling fluid circulating, things are toasted pretty quickly from slipping...
