I have a Ram Power Grip Street - Strip it chatters a little (sometimes) but grips like a pit bull. I love it!

It is alot more clutch than the car needs and it will chatter if you try to slip it. No regrets.

Rodney, I switched to McCleod street performance type on my Tremec, small input on the 428. No chatter and plenty of grip. I don't know for sure about the big block, but the 390 to 428 kits are actually 12" relacing the original 11.5". You don't need a drag strip clutch on these light cars for 10% track usage. Good luck man!:D

I've got a Pioneer and it slips like crazy. Will be looking at a "Spec Stage 2" for replacement.
spd4me (Bob),
If you don't mind, let me know what you come with.

Thanks for all the input looks like I just need to avoid the pioneers and should be fine.

I finaly got time to go by Spec Clutch manufacturer and they are closed this week. Bummer. There web site is specclutch.com. I plan to go back and ask for a specific type of clutch for my engine and set up.
I have 17,000 miles on my centerforce with never an issue. Love the clutch.
