I have no experiance at all with the Ram stuff, but I have 2 cars with McLeod Soft Lok/Jerico combinations, my 85 Mustang 302 M/Stocker, (12.3`s@107mph, mid 1.6 60 foots)and a 428FE powered 78 Fairmont bracket car.(10.0`s@132, 1.29-1.33 60 foots) On both cars I launch and shift at virtually the same RPM (6200), and because of that, I tend to only use static pressure, since any counterweight I put in, would be in effect on the launch anyways. Plus I don`t need to worry about dropping small nuts and bolts inside the bellhousing! With everything fresh, my base pressure is 280 lbs, and my pressure plates have 9 turns of adjustment, but I normally run between 3 to 4 turns over the base.The 428 uses the aluminum flywheel, but I find the little 302 likes a bit heavier steel flywheel. Can anybody explain in my situation, how adding counterweight would do anything for me, that simply addng static won`t?
