just installed Ram Powergrip, feels like stock. help please

sorry for the long post, but im kinda looking for some help here. TIA...

alright well my stock clutch was begging me to change it for like 6 months, after i installed headers etc. so i decided to go 2 or so steps up from stock and purchase a Ram powergrip clutch set. it is supposed to be good for 500 horse. ive heard rumors of small chatter on take off but ive heard it grips like a mother and will really rip with some sticky tires.

onto my problem...(or so i think)

the clutch honestly doesnt feel that great. i read great things and it seemed least problem prone company(RAM). it deffinitley grabs more than the stockers and will pull the car more in 5th and 6th at those low rpms, but upon take off, it feels exactly lik the crappy stock clutch that i hated. also when grabbing 2nd gear on side streets and just letting it out without trying to make it smooth it, it feels pretty smooth anyways. that is exactly how the old clutch was, its almost like a sloppy automatic shifting. although the new clutch is better for sure, it doesnt have that bite that i was really expecting. now im really hoping that this is just break in period and in time it will get more and more sticky, but idk right now im very upset with my 500 dollar purchase.

i resurfaced the flywheel, installed new TO bearing, aligned it perfectly and checked the fluid for air bubbles. all seems normal. please tell me this is normal or give me any advice. im 17 and just dropped 500 bucks for this thing and installed it myself the last day and a half.
