well I just ordered it thru TSP alond with a new slave and adj master so I'll let u know how the install goes (should be pretty simple). I'm installing it this weekend and I'll give feedback about how it is to drive. this car is my DD and I'll be putting down 600rwhp...hope this clutch is the answer to my problems. I hate the spec 3...don't buy it.

I had thier best material ceramic metallic disks and it as the biggest piece of **** ive ever owned. I would never buy one again. 1400 down the drain. It engaged wrong, slipped, and rattled. And yes it was all installed right. Their adjustable master even went out on me. Both went to **** after about 3 months and 1000 miles.

too late, I already bought it and what do u mean "their best material"...the street twin only comes one way. the master cylender is a GM M.C., Ram just did the drill mod and adjustable rod.

I did the upgraded material to the ceramic metallic lining. It was supposed to hold 1200 horse but with no turbo's on my car it started slipping after about 1000 miles. After a proper break in and everything. Yes the master was stock with an adjustable rod welded to the end. It started loosing pressure when the clutch was pushed in and the car would start rolling after you held it in for about 30 sec. The clutch would also rattle when the pedal was pushed in even though they claim it doesnt. I called them about it and they said the "sometimes" they rattle.

I hope you have better luck with your than I did. I just figured I would share my problems with you.

They said that theirs would be the best for their clutch. I figured it would be like the McCleod but when I got it I saw that it wasnt. The master worked fine for awhile then started to go. When I first got the setup I had to take the entire drivetrain back out after it needed to be shimmed between the torque tube and slave. It was all around a pain in my *** and a huge contributor to my solid axle conversion in my corvette.
