Well, I went to the track for the first time on my new RAM Powergrip HD clutch... and it passed with flying colors! Never once had a burning clutch smell, and it handled 6k+ clutch dumps all afternoon and evening long without batting an eye. In fact, even on a close to 7k clutch dump, the car still bogged some out of the hole... I'm thinking its time for a steeper gear (running 4.11s now).

Anyhow, car ran the best time its ever run... 11.92 @ 116.27mph with a 1.70 60'. Definitely has more in it... mods in sig. So far, I'm very happy with this clutch.

 

My RAM HD does very well, too. Glad to hear such great success!

 

What disk are you running? I'm glad this isnt a ram horor story, I've got about 300mi on my new ram set up. Hope mine holds up like thet.

 

The Powergrip HD uses their sintered iron disk with a sprung hub (I think it's a 910 disk if I remember correctly).

 

Cool, thanks. My hd kit came W/ the 910 disk just wondered if you went with another.

 

yeah,both mine were that nice too. that was till i got more street miles on it,then it went bye,bye. the first lasted 1,200-1,500ish mi and the second lasted 2,500mi. i will not use ram again. i hope your luck is good.

 

My hd rocks so far.

 

Mine has near 1500 miles and I've beat it hard.I love it and it seems,it love me.

 

Hmm, I can't use the sintered iron disk with an aluminum flywheel.

 

Yeah, the HD is more of a drag racing clutch than anything... so it is best used with a billet steel flywheel or heavier.

 

Billet steel here too.

 

Ill be trying one out and we will see how long it lasts...... What master cylinder you guys using???

I have a McLeod adjustable master... you'll want to have an adjustable (either RAM, McLeod, or someone else) that has a bigger bore that pushes more fluid.

 

Yeah i went with the Mcleod adj. master. Thanks for the input.

I used a previously new master and installed a new slave and have a perfect release and dissengagement point.Billet fidenza also.

 

did you guys have to break in the clutch any? if so how many miles?

 

I didn't have much of a break in period... drove it roughly 300 mostly highway miles, then took it to the track and gave it hell. Would have done it the very next day after the clutch install a couple weeks ago, but the track cancelled the races due to electronic difficulties.

 

I've had my RAM for about 3k so far with no problems what so ever. Sure beats that POS SPec.

NA$TY - TA!!! That is one HOT chick. Be honest how much ***** did it take you to put her on your car???? Well let me think about that again. Ah-F-it!! I'd let her sit on my car anytime, that's of course if thats not the only place she'd be sittin.
