Default Paging Ram 910 users...

Need to decide on a new clutch pretty quick for the new setup. 300-350 shot on a 409 solid roller. I have tried the SPEC stage 5, and it holds good. HOWEVER, if I drive it on the street it makes an unbearable squealing noise, and has a on/off temperment. Does the 910 disk have any of these ill effects? The spec disk was a solid hub sintered iron, and rated at like 1300 HP. But, I hate it, so I need some opinions here. The McLeod twin disk is totally out of the question.

I havent driven mine yet, but I can tell you that the Ram 910 has springs that are encased in rubber.

As long as it doesn't squeal like a pig, I'm cool with the chatter, that doesn't bother me.

So apparently, this seems to be the best clutch for my application. I have been a spec clutch user since day one, but it's time for a change. Any inherent problems with the disk? I know my old iron disk started cracking and chipped away after about 8 track passes. I don't want to change clutches every weekend anymore.

On my second RAM 910 VDS clutch setup right now. First one lasted about 20k miles and plenty of track passes, but it chattered unless you gave it enough gas.

Second one is as smooth as butter. No chatter whatsoever and I love it. Broke it in at the Thunder Shootout.

Just curious.
