Guys, I'm partial to the RAM dual clutch disks. I ran one with my BBC 509 about 8 years ago. What's you all's opinions on RAM clutches? I always see lots of guys on here mention and run the DYAD, but not many RAM's. Although pricey, I loved them and plan to run one with my 427 supercharged LS7. Do guys not like RAM clutches or what?

I have 79 Z-28 Camaro with 500 plus Supercharged small block Chevy.with a Center Force Dual Friction clutch /Super T-10 / Lakewood Scatter Shield Combo.And I have never had such a problem. Are you running a Scatter Shield.and its not aligned properly It could cause such a problem. I would also ask them for advice as well.

I've seen people that swear by them and others that have nothing good to say. I've not seen much negative press about RST/RXT, DYAD, Dual Friction except the Dual Friction cant handle huge HP numbers.

Being that I have use a LT clutch Im still screwed. They don't make a RST/RXT or DYAD for the LT. I think the Dual Friction Centerforce will come up a bit short. Nothing against a RAM I just need to hear some feedback on a 6-700hp (depending on boost) application and what model they are using (I need to be somewhat streetable)

Oh no, I wasn't trying to start a cluth convo war or anything. Since, this was a discussion on cluches, I thought I'd get insight as well. I too, am interested in the best streetable clutch cuz I'm supercharging my engine too and need something to handle boost. Wasn't trying to thread jack either.

I didn't take it that way at all. FYI I've heard the DYAD is very streetable and can handle around 1000hp +- (I think lol). That's what I would be running if they made one for my application.

Okay, cool. I may have 2 look into those more. Like I said, I had planned on going with RAM, but I'll check out the DYAD. Thanks!
