Default RAM Slave Cylinder VS OEM?

Anyone used the RAM? Is it an upgrade and worth the price difference over OEM?

ditto. I'm looking at them now actually. Asking the same question...

As often as these things seem to go out on the c5s, you'd think someone would have had some experiences with them.

I'm doing my clutch swap next month. Spec 3+, F1 flywheel, and an OEM Slave. I never knew RAM made one. Everyone I see on here uses the OEM slave. There might be a reason for that....Just a thought.

The OE Z06 and LS1 slave are the same right?

The Ram is just an adjustable O.E. as far as I saw. The internal plunger stop is shorten for a lil further pump action, no restrictors in line, and adjustable rod to set slave extension.

I've had great results with modding a factory one like Ram does! Look up " adjustable master cylinder mod"

The problem with the factory hydraulics is in the stock master, not the slave. Our Adjustable Master Cylinder Kit allows you to shift the car as quickly as possible, and we designed it to work with the stock GM Slave.

Joey, I think the biggest problem with factory hydraulics is that they aren't resistant to heat generated when a clutch is slipping.

Having said that, I'll acknowledge that your larger bore master can release the clutch with less pedal travel, or release a clutch which requires larger travel to release. At the tradeoff of higher pedal effort (if that matters).
