just installed ram powergrip clutch I just had a RAM powergrip installed (wasn't doing this one on my back in the driveway
) and just wanted to see how many miles you drove for the break-in period before you starting beating on it. my cars running better than it ever has and i really want to take it to the track but im waiting to break the clutch in. I only put about 180 miles on it so far. The manual says 500-1000 miles of normal, unagressive driving but thats tough when you got all that hp under your right foot and the sound of a hurricane coming out the exhaust. just interested in hearing some opinions

im aproaching 500 miles shortly but i have had a few pulls on it against a 4.6 mustang still destroyed it. kinda smelled clutch but could be because its not fully broken in. i didnt shift hard just put it to the bondo once i was in the next gear
