I raced a stock AP1 in my stock AP2 and he def. started to pull away. If I didn't have the stupid Clutch-Delay-Valve in I am positive I would have had him. I know the guy and we can both drive our cars very well.
The clutch delay valve sucks a big one and every ap2 comes with them. You can remove it for free but it voids whatever warranty you have.

You should be able to just clip down the switch somehow though. I took my switch and just zip tied it down and moved it out of the way of my clutch pedal. I can easily have it back in and functioning in under a minute
