    Lightly used flywheel insert

    Swapped back to my RXT clutch and straight cut transmission. Flywheel insert was rather used up.

    My default for most things driven, and occasionally raced is the Ram Powergrip HD. There is lots of details right about that clutch in my opinion. That is what was used on this insert and it served very well.

    i would avoid anything made by SPEC these days. They advertise great holding power but get there by jacking up the pressure plate pressure versus good friction materials

    if you want 1000 hp with a pedal lighter than stock look at RXT from McLeod. It's in my bell right now. Skip right over the RST, nothing good there in my opinion

    That's what I heard about the RST as well. Went with the RXT in my '66. Pricey but worth it.

    I was looking at ram clutches.
    Trying to figure out if the 11" 26 spline clutch for a V8 will bolt to a v6 flywheel.

    The Rxt is probably more than I want to spend.

    So how flat is that insert really? Last time I changed one it warped so badly once unbolted.

    It is like a bowl, same thing as I unbolted it, it pulled into a cup .. if I lay it down upside down on the outer edge, the inside is 1/8" higher
