yea, i looked at everything in terms of clutches, from centerforce, spec, RAM, textrilla, slp, zo6, ls7,... Mcloed was too much at first IMO, but now became a close competitor to the textrilla.
Since my car is an '01, i had the zo6/ls6 clutch disc and pressure plate to begin with and that only lasted 10k miles(just a catback and a lid) The funny thing is, I did NOT burn that clutch up, it FAILED. I actually managed to spin the splines IN the clutch disc itself. Therefore the disc would spin, but the input shaft to the trans wouldnt move. Thats what made me get the SPEC 3 back in '02. That lasted till last august but it had its issues. and when it came out, the flywheel(provided by SPEC) was trash and the spings in the disc were almost all broken. After that i said to myself, no more spec. I chose RAM hoping it was gonna work out for me, but now i changed my mind, lol.

When i broke my TQ arm i was on the street leaving a traffic light and did a hard 1-2 shift... and BAM! that was the end of it... And then i only had Maybe 350 flywheel hp. With my new motor setup i should have in the area of at least 450 flyhweel hp,

I put the RAM HD clutch up for sale in the classifieds section, and im seeing how much itll cost me to ship it back and pay restocking fees if i just return it, cause then i cans till sell the flywheel and get some money back there...
