I just read this when looking at the ram clutches.
GEARING: Rear gearing plays a critical role in clutch life. As a general rule, the lower the car is geared, the harder the clutch has to work to maintain holding power. This also drastically effects the driveability of the clutch system.
Does that mean my clutch will last longer since I have 4.10's?

Interesting . . I have 3.55s, So will that help or hurt?

I was looking at the Centerforce a little bit today, I think AZAlloy has one but I havent heard back from him. It would be nice to hear from some of those guys since that is a reasonable priced unit.
What about the Slave cylinder? Currently my pedal goes way out before the clutch starts to grab and it's even worse since my wild hair last night. Are the stock cylinders okay for a peformance clutch/PP????

3.55 and especially 4.10's would be harder on the clutch, I can believe it since acceleration is more noticeable with those gears. I dont see how you use first gear in your car Moose. The Whipple rendered mine instant rev limiter with 3.55's
