Hi Maurice,

I can't imagine your engine builder would recommend something that has not already been tested and proven. I don't know KC, but he has built engines for a number of friends. Should be ok. However, I'm like you and research everything just to be sure.
I used an internal RAM Hyd-B a long time ago and cannot comment if it is the same as what you have. I believe RAM may have made some changes. I did have a 3-finger pressure plate at that time. In my case, with the RAM I used, it never quite worked as smooth as I would have hoped. There was aways a travel mismatch even after several adjustments and shims along with messing with that older RAM setup. Again, the new RAM might be improved. I have no direct experience with the new RAM saetup. Again, a few years ago I then tried the Tilton internal Hyd-B setup. It popped the seal 3 times, and I WAS using it with a diaphram pressure plate. From the installs/tests I did back then, the 3-finger style pressure plates require less travel to activate vs. a diaphram setup. I treat each situation as a case by case basis.

Hard to say without testing it.
