Default 435rwhp - LS7 ,Spec 2+, Ram PG, or Cartek

Ive only heard good things about Cartek but its the priciest.

Joe at t56rebuilds said hes had a few issues with the LS7 but Im waiting to hear more details about the power level hes seen problems at

Im not sure if the Spec 2 hybrid will handle the power but Im open to suggestions. They have it on Tbyrnes site.

The Ram PG is looking pretty good with the light flywheel and all.

Anyone know the weight of the Ram FW? Faster revs would be cool esp since I want to get out on some tracks with turns.

My apostrophe button is giving me **** so thats why there arent any.

I guess it depends on which Ram flywheel you are talking about...I've used their billet steel fly, and it didn't really feel any lighter than the stock piece. I just took my Ram Powergrip out yesterday, and weighed it after I got it back home - 57 lbs total with their pressure plate and billet steel flywheel. Compared to the 37 lbs that my new RPS setup weighs, that's a huge difference. Made a VERY noticeable difference just driving around town.

Dont know what the Cartek weighs but I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Stock pedal feel and can take a **** load of punishment.

Hard to say but I agree on the LS7.It's not gods gift to all.

Cartek is nice but alittle grabby for street driving.

I would go SPEC 3+.Good slip for street driving,stockish peddle and has held our 600rwhp cars just fine.

RPS- the one I had was crap.Chatter at light's,heavy peddle, and couldn't hold hard shift's from a 500hp car.
