i installed the Ram powergrip, supposed to be good for 500 horse, but i highly doubt there will be good clamping force and enough friction to hold the motor if i ever made 500 horse.lol
i called up the Ram clutch tech guy and he said there was no break in for the clutch so i went out and romped on it 3 days later, and its been fine ever since.

Won't know until Spring- the motor is still out. With everything going on here career-wise and life in general the car has been put on the back burner for the time being. I have about 85-90% of what I need to build the motor- just need the time.
It will hopefully be close to 600 rwhp, but I'm not sure if my little blower can huff enough air into the forged 383 going in. I will max the blower on this motor for sure and see what it makes. If its enough I will be content. If its not, more ponies are only a button away. And before you ask how much is enough, I don't know yet. Have to wait and see how scary it is to drive. Too much power and its not streetable anymore.
