I've ran two RAMs. A power grip hd and a power grip. The hd had 25k on it and seen several 1.5 and 1.6 60s and even more 6500 plus clutch dumps. I replaced it while it was out but it was going strong. This was on a heads cam car. It had a lot of chatter at times tho. The power grip has probably 20k on it and seen some 1.7 and is still in the car doing fine. A lot of people I've read have had bad experiences but I didn't. I never sprayed it either tho.

I'm using a Ram HD in a high HP low,weight car. It's mostly street driven, with some road racing. I'm not afraid to beat on it fairly hard.

There is some chatter when cold, otherwise it's smooth. There is definitely more pedal effort than a Weber or Centerforce. And it uses the same Valeo hat that everyone else uses.

It's been in there for two years now, and appears to be holding up well.
