Default Spoke w/ a tech from Ram

He says it will have a firmer pedal feel than stock....which is what i want. I'm sick of not being able to feel the pedal. But anyways, when i did a search, most say its the same feel as stock....so whats the deal, is the tech guy just trying to sell a clutch to me or would it end up being a diff pressure on every car? And if anyone knows of a clutch that deffinatly has a firmer pedal feel let me know. Thanks!

I have the Ram VDS/910.

It's definitely firmer than stock. Firmer than my buddy's Spec 3. It's probably about the same as my Cartek clutch was. I had 1 or 2 friends complain about the Cartek, saying it was too firm. Pansies.

I've driven a 'firm clutch' Mustang (older 5.0 GT). After a few miles my leg *hurt*. I have no problem with the Ram. It's firm, but not overly so.

I have the VDS 910 also and its firmer than stock and has just the feel to it. After driving mine i drove my friends car w/ a new Z06 clutch in it and that felt like a honda civic clutch to me it was so light

Sounds good...Ram it is...should i do the VDS system?? I heard some people dont like the adjustable master cylinder...also, what kind of price am i looking at for that setup?
P.S i just got a response from LM performance, he says the spec III is heavier than the SLP kit, yet guys on here say the spec III feels stock...Who should i believe?

i hope you dont have a lot of horsepower.if you do you wont find a clutch thats going to hold with slicks.havent found one yet.the ram lasted 3 runs and it was burnt.maybe having over 700 rwtq has something to do with it.
