Imo the stagger is good, but you need to make sure you don't have it set up so that the first 1 or 2 shoes engage early enough to create that lag. Try turning screw 0 in by 1 turn and screw 1 in by half a turn and see what happens.

stagger is good if your looking to bleed off bottom end power, as a staggered clutch just behaves like a slipper......The more stagger you have the more power is bled off.. Marks engine is tuned to be top end oriented right from the factory so the last thing it will need is a stagger in the clutch...That engine is going to need all the help it can get down low and adding a stagger to the clutch is only going to further exasperate the issue...the best thing he can do is set all 3 shoes equal with a proper clutch stall, the performance down low will be much better then with any sort of stagger.
