Default RAM Powergrip HD clutch - Anyone using this?

The T56 I recently bought came with a RAM Powergrip HD clutch with barely any miles on it. Does anyone run this particular clutch or have any experience with RAM clutches in general? I prefer McLeod clutches, but if this RAM clutch is a good unit, I'd rather just use that instead of buying a new McLeod.

I've been running one in my car for the last 25k miles. Great driveability and holds my power without any issues.

I've ran them for a while, I have a RXT now but only ran a powergrip HG the whole time Ive had the car. It had the stock for maybe 2-3 weekd. haha
For the price I went really fast with it. I fully worn out 2 with street miles and racing. lots of 1.5s, and as I get better and get better shocks and parts started getting 1.4s. A lot of 1.45 1.47's. A few lower, best was a 1.43.
You can slip it to a little for DR, and street tires.

I've got one I'm going to sell as soon as I get the disk back from Ram. It was used for less than 6K miles. Then my rear main seal failed and oil leaked all over the disk. The disk slipped on the flywheel side, not the pressure plate side, so the pressure plate is perfect.

I called Ram and they said that they could make the disk like new for half the price of a new disk.

I wanted to try out the RST, so I ordered one.

PM me if you're interested.
