I've had it with the slipping stock POS. Anytime I get any traction I smell clutch.

I don't have many mods on the car yet, just the cheap boltons (lid, K&N, ASP crank pulley, and WS6 lower airbox). It's run a best of 13.75 @ 104.11 in some seriously hot weather (100* +) with a 2.2 60' and that lovely clutch smell.

I've got a few other bolt ons lined up (LS6 intake + ported stock TB) that are going on soon, and then a little ways out I will probably do a cam (no $$$ for heads any time in the next year at least).

Which RAM setup should I get? The level 2 or level 3? I mostly drive this car on the street, it only gets to the track a few times out of the year. I need a clutch that doesn't chatter and doesn't require a lot more pedal effort than stock.

Forget to add: I don't have a lot of money, so I'd really like to reuse the stock flywheel. If it's warped or spotted I'll probably end up with another stocker. Plus there's the $$$ I'm going to have to spend on the updated hydraulics...

Also I'm having a bit of trouble locating the P/Ns for all of the hydraulic parts I'll need to replace, the whole clutch system is all original from the factory...

 

Ram 980 is the street clutch. Or you can check out Spec's clutches. They seem to be cheaper. If you check out their websites they should have info there. Or call them directly and ask them about the stock flywheel.

 

I bought and installed the RAM VDS 902/980 setup from Mike at Rapid Motorsports...he's a sponser. I replaced EVERYTHING and it works fine. The only problem I had was getting all the air out of the hydraulics. I let the slave gravity bleed for awhile. Then the Mity-Vac got the rest out of the master cylinder reservoir. Peddle pressure feels just a little stiffer than stock. Get the steel flywheel and save a few lbs. of rotating mass.

Spec 3 seem to be popular, I think thats what Im going to go with, my stock clutch slips all the way up until 3000rpm

 

We are running free shipping on all Ram clutch kits for the LS1's right now . Give me a call and I will go over your best options .

Thanks ,
