Where are you getting it from? Check this link.

This is straight off their website:

Powergrip HD Clutch sets
Powergrip HD sets are the ultimate for extreme street/strip performance. Using our proprietary 900 series friction material in conjunction with increased clamp load pressure plates, you get maximum holding power for track or street, with only minimal reduction in driveability. This is the set for big power street cars! Some chatter will occur on takeoff. Use only with RAM billet steel or factory nodular iron (explosion resistant) flywheels.

True Balance Billet Flywheels
All billet flywheels are NOT created equal! Every RAM True Balance flywheel is turned, drilled, and tapped on our own CNC equipment from SFI certified materials. Aluminum flywheels get a replaceable carbon steel friction insert. Flywheels are then precision ground parallel to the crank flange and to the proper RMS finish for optimum mating of the friction disc. Shrink fit ring gears are replaceable; one piece flywheels require replacing the entire flywheel! Finally the flywheel is digitally balanced to the proper factory specification. When you purchase a RAM True Billet flywheel, you can buy it, bolt it in, and go!

i like the ram clutch in mine

why would you not want to reach your peak faster?

that aside imho I would go aluminum it's a good weight loss

I've had both, the Ram poergrip was a good clutch but not a great clutch. Every now and then it would slip 3rd gear. The SPEC stage 3 is a great clutch. It's not as grabby on disengagement and it holds super good. With 450rwhp, I'd rec. the SPEC!

Why not get a McLeod single disk? I've never experienced a Ram or Spec clutch, but have heard bad things about Spec 3 coming apart.. Heard good things about a Spec 3+ though

yeah for 450 rwhp i say go with stage 3+. mcleod single disk would be a great choice too. As far as flywheels for daily driving and drag racing steel flywheel is what you want. Its heavier but also carries more momentum which makes it easier to launch. Aluminum is good for autocrossing and road racing so you can rev faster and make it easier to rev match etc

SPEC 3+ it rocks!

It was a little grabby for the first couple months but I've had it on for over a year and really like it alot!
