That makes sense, Blk003. I am probably going to go with the RAM HDX. Everyone, is RAM a good option for what I want to do?

I hear the throw out bearing that comes with some clutch kits is junk. Should I get a FRPP throwout bearing?

I put a ram clutch in my car a few months back. I am pretty happy with it. I am in the same boat as you, my car pretty close to stock right now but I want to build it. I figure by the time I get the engine built the throw bearing will need to be replaced anyway so I can put a better clutch in it then. I will definitely NOT be building my 3650. When I get to that point it will either be a t56 or a TKO. Also read somewhere the other day that you could put the new tr6060 in our cars. Might be an option when I get there.

With Centerforce clutches you must use a Centerforce throwout bearing though.For street duty you will like the Centerforce Dual Friction clutch
over the Ram HDX clutch.

Lmao you never ran a Ram clutch so please dont give advice on it, there are plenty of people that swear by the HDX, you won't be dissapointed.

i got mine with 15,000 miles on it with an upgraded 26 spline input shaft for 1500$

Thanks everyone. So now the question is aluminum or steel billet flywheel?
