thanks guys. I was actually looking at the Centerforce clutches, but it sounds like I should be looking elsewhere. By the way, my car is a DD with some track time. Should I be looking at a gm clutch?

tex 0z700 if you don't mind spending a little change. I've had it for a while, hasn't given me any troubles at all.

Another one here for the Ram. I have the Level 3 power grip and I love it but it sounds like you have a hydrolic issue and not a clutch issue. When my slave and master went out thats when I had the same issue. So what ever you get make sure you do the slave and master. I did a Ram clutch,Ram slave, and Ram Adjustable master witch you will NEED for any after market clutch. And also its a must to do the drill mod with an aftermarket clutch. Its even in the instructions from Ram. And Ram is the one that says you NEED to run the adjustable master. Good luck!

Whatever you do dont get a centerforce...my dual friction lasted 12k miles in a bolt on car. Now I bought a light metal disc for it because I am spending my money on a H/C swap and dont have the money for a new kit, when i do I am thinking about the Textralia

I'd say get a CARTEK clutch.

It drives like stock on the street, pedal feel is almost like stock, and that ***** does hold the power like no other. I powershift mine at 7000rpm and launch damn near close to that on a ET Drag. Meanwhile, I drive it to and from the track, in traffic, and so on.

Just my $.02
