My RAM HDX is on the way and I'm installing it next week ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

dont buy too aggressive, you still have a t-5. a 500hp clutch is no good when your tranny can only handle 300hp. even if you go aftermarket T-5 the input shaft changes and you will need a new disc and unless this swap is in the near future you probably will want to replace it all. slap a king cobra or regular spec in it and roll.

I've heard of people having good luck with a lot more power than that on a stock T-5. I think imma either go that king cobra kit that UPR products has or the Ram HDX

^^^ this is true. the point I was making was buying a clutch rated at more then your tranny can handle is pointless. if you decide to put sticker tires on the car with a clutch that grips too good , next thing to break is the tranny.

I wouldn't go wit the upr quadrant I think its garbage wit the 3 hooks, & I personally don't like firewall adjusters! Hit me up if u need it installed!
Ya I hate that they raised the price & changed the way there made & come witout the t/o bearing, but upr looks like they got the old setup & prices, wish I knew that wit the last 3 50z I jus did!
