Default RPS Clutch

Just wondering if anybody has used a RPS single disk set-up. I'm in the market for a clutch for my C-5 and ECS recommended the RPS. I'm stuck between the RPS and the Ram HD. This is a cam only car in the 420whp range and i wanted to spray 150 on top of that.
Thanks, Steve

my experience was very bad with them. 3500 side step and up in smoke with it. I do not see it taking the 150 hit. when I mean it went up in smoke, I litteraly took all of the clutch material off of the clutch plate and burned the alum fly wheel. Pedal is real heavy with their pressure plate.

I've been running an RPS in the car in my sig for the past 6 or so months...it's a daily driver, so I don't take it to the track and abuse it, but it has had its fair share of street punishment. I have no complaints, and lots of praise for the lower inertial mass...it made the car a lot of fun to drive.
