Drilling holes in the clutch shoes will make them lighter (naturally). With lighter clutch shoes, the engine needs to rev higher for the lighter shoes to exert enough force on the clutch spring to expand and reach the clutch bell.
If you do decide to drill holes or cut the end off the shoes, make sure you do the exact same thing to both, or one will engage before the other.
Finally, a practical use for physics.
Have fun and good luck.
