Sintered metallic provides a degree of slippage on vehicle launch to prevent the violent and uncontrollable engagement characteristics of paddle type metallic discs. This firm consistent engagement is easy to control. Some chatter is likely on engagement with rear gearing less than 3.73 in street applications. Each set includes the pressure plate, clutch disc, release bearing, and alignment tool unless otherwise noted. Use Powergrip HD for power levels to 650 horsepower, or lower powered vehicles that see frequent track duty.
Founded as a family business in 1971, RAM Clutches® is recognized as a world leader and pioneer in the design and production of clutch systems. Thanks to its over 25 year partnership with racing teams, the company has developed lots of innovative technologies and designed dozens of patented products. It was the first to introduce the 3-paddle drag racing clutch with metallic pads, the Poly-Coil clutch hub spring and Carbon-Carbon friction technology to professional clutch systems. RAM clutches have been used by numerous IHRA Pro Stock and ADRL Pro Stock champions as well as NHRA Pro Mod champions including Mike Castellana and Rickie Smith.
