Default New clutch and headers are in!!!

Well it has been awhile since I have posted anything about the old car. I installed the new RAM Power Grip HD clutch and stainless steel headers this weekend. The clutch install was not a problem at all. The headers went in just as sweet. Can't wait to get the exhaust done and the clutch broke in. Then it will be time for the heads and cam swap!!!

Nice!! I got the same clutch on my Z06 and although the RAM tech advised me that there is no required break in period, I still drove it about 300 miles before mashing on thru the gears. Just took it to the track last weekend and getting 1.7-1.6 60 ft times, no missed shifts, no sticky pedal after back to back 1/4 mile passes. Should be able to handle power when you put in the H/C setup!

I hope that it is a good clutch. The RAM tech guy told me to break it in for 500-700 miles before getting on it. I don't think I will make it that far though.
