FI M6 guys come inside!

I'm posting this here, because I'm ONLY interested in the FI M6 cars making big numbers and I think I'll get more specific responses here than in the tranny section. Mods, move this if you must.

I'd like to set up the responses like a list:

Clutch Brand and Type
Hp/Tq
ET/MPH
Type of FI
Vehicle Weight
Miles on Clutch
Number of Passes
Miles Driven Weekly

Please list all of the above that you know, and a breif opion or comment.

if I dont have any issues with the car I can drive it to and from work or where ever I go as a daily driver.

I choose however not to drive it everywhere as I dont wanna put too many miles on the car.

Ram HD/Ram billet flywheel, Ram shim

stock motor D1SC

8000 miles

For the price best clutch so far-if you install it 100% correct, use the Ram Flywheel, shim etc. IMHO most clutch failure is due to installer error.

250 miles or so. I used to not drive it a lot but my DD broke so I have been using it as my DD for about 3 weeks which is putting about 250 per week on it. Once I get myself another DD truck I will go back to keeping it in the garage except for track nights and weekend drives!
