For those of you who kept up with my dillema, I'm baaaaaaaack!

RStrick0352 · August 25th, 2008, 06:10 PM

Just got my Ram HD clutch and steel flywheel installed and I'm back to my powershifting ways. Houston we have liftoff, and many other lame cliches. My transmission problems are no more and I plan on promply mailing back the faulty SPEC clutch and flywheel in the RAM boxes. Next time I'll hit the track will be friday the 5th, and I'll promptly post times afterwards. Bythe way its now been over 6 months since I've been able to make a true run and many things have been done to the car since then.

cool man... how far is jacksonville from raleigh?

Mickey · August 25th, 2008, 06:19 PM

Hell yes. I cannot wait to see what the cams and sauce will do for that ride...easily a mid 11 sec car now

qwik48r · August 25th, 2008, 06:23 PM

try low 11's mickey.... http://site.brenspeed.com/info/media/150run.wmv

and with that trap speed... I'd say 10's.

Mickey · August 25th, 2008, 06:29 PM

That is why I said mid 11's EASY...leaves room for improvement...

qwik48r · August 25th, 2008, 06:30 PM

but cant he drive?

Mickey · August 25th, 2008, 06:33 PM

Obviously he can...however, he hasnt driven it on the sauce so its a new ballgame for a couple passes until he gets keyed in...

Wow... This is bassakwards from what I've been hearing from other guys at the track. Usually its a faulty RAM part and guys end up with Spec. Are you still on the stock TOB?

BTW, your car is awesome!

RStrick0352 · August 25th, 2008, 06:52 PM

Using the RAM TOB, I dont think the stock one could keep up with the pedal effort of this new clutch, its pretty high. AND Hell yes I can drive but like Mickey said I'm gonna have to get dialed back in though.

RStrick0352 · August 25th, 2008, 06:53 PM

Raleigh is about 2 to 2 1/2 hours from jacksonville, pretty good haul.

07stanggt · August 25th, 2008, 06:57 PM

good luck man.

In the morning or just after your car sits for a while are you having to pump your clutch pedal once or twice to get all the feeling back? Like is it almost on the floor when you get in? I've been reading quite a few storys about RAM TOB's either leaking or failing.

RStrick0352 · August 25th, 2008, 09:25 PM

During install you have to shim it to get it within 2 10'ths of an inch of the fingers on the pressure plate and if you dont grease it well you can damage the fragile O rings in the part. I did this first time I installed it. Called RAM the next day, they understood, said it happens all the time and overnighted me a rebuild kit. After that I knew whose clutch I was gonna buy next. After that first incident its been perfect since. Actually a little tougher pedal but it wont fail like the stocker has on me and they're rebuildable so you'll never need another new one again. I'm satisfied with all my RAM products.

qwik48r · August 25th, 2008, 09:46 PM

^^^ COOL.. ram no slip on smack?

06RedfireGT · August 25th, 2008, 10:26 PM

Good deal man. I can't wait to see what she'll do.
