Another RAM or the Ls7

ok i currently have a ram power grip in the car, ive had it in for a very hard 12,000 miles to say the least since i slip the hell out of it at the track(street tires) and its not fully releasing all the way anymore. What i cant decide is to go with the power grip HD set up and their billet fly wheel or the Ls7 clutch kit. I actualy like the stiff pedal feel of the ram, i can hardly drive a car w/ a stock clutch in it because there so soft. I have drive hell out of my car so i was wondering on others opinions on holding power etc.

Thanks
-Matt

I voted the Ram because I have the HD powergrip and its great. But the bad thing is that it chatters like crazy and since I have 3.23 gears(my car used to be an automatic) It really chatters. Hopefully the 4.10's will cure that.

I'd say easily 95% of all early clutch failures are due to installs...Mine lasted 8k miles without the proper spacer. Now the spacer is in and its great after 1200 and I suspect a lot more on the way. Hard to beat for 420 bucks

I have put 6000 miles in 2 month on my powergrip HD, i do atleast 5 wide open passes on it everday, scratches tires in 3rd, drive in stop and go traffic everyday (90 miles a day minimum) and it loves the abuse so far. I am just hoping the clutch lasts through the winter into the summer lol. The pedal pressus is perfect with this clutch. When this one goes out, i will be putting another one in for sure. This is on a cam/bolt-on car. With the smaller cam and no tune it put down 380 rwhp, should be around 400 now. I can't see the ls7 holding my abuse like this thing does, plus i don;t want that weak *** pedal pressure.
The clutch does chatter a lot, but i am daily driving a good sized cammed car, i have high tolerance for an obnoxious car lol
