I bought a RAM powergrip clutch ( NON HD ) with Billet Steel Flywheel from Texas Speed. Installed it and have around 300 miles on it now.
First impressions were iffy, the clutch engaged just off the carpet and disengaged not even half way up. Was completly bled and am using the stock 2002 Master and Slave. The clutch chattered during the first 100 miles on all 1st gear starts.
After the first 100 miles, i started to get used to the stiffness of the new clutch and the chatter seemed to be going away, i almost hit my garage pulling in the thing grabs so hard.
At 200 miles i got on her a few times taking the revs high and NOT powershifting by anymeans but seeing how she grabs. She grabs so hard my Ypipe slams the chassis and i can feel it bump.
Now at 300 miles the chatter in first geat is almost gone. It only really chatters when making a turn at low speeds. The engagement points are rising, its much easier to shift. I am completely used to it as if i had been driving with it for a long time.
Over all so far im pretty satisfied. Ill be adding more miles to her soon and once i get a bit more comfortable, ill take her to the track and see how she does.

I have had mine almost for about 800 miles, i'd say 100 of that is stop and go break in. My left leg is bigger than my right now thanks to Ram and the stiftness of the damn clutch, I got on it once, but ever since I burnt the **** out of my stock clutch I have been scared to get her going off the line. I will wait about 200 more miles and hten give it hell!!! I love my Ram Powergrip w/Ram billet flywheel, 01 slave, and my Futral Slave Cylinder. Best mod so far???? Don't know maybe after my cam swap?!?!?!?
