How much more? Here's some, Peter has them rated pretty conservatively. I have the OFE and it grabs good, holds strong and has stock-like pedal pressure.

Con OFE: 450-550hp
Con FE 500hp-600+
DD3250: 550-650

I will probably stop around five or five fifty. It looks like the con OFE will be the better deal as far as money and my needs go thank you.

Dunno, the deals on the DD's in the DTR store look pretty attractive. Mine is pretty stout, don't think I can afford to mod my truck to the point of making it slip.......

I agree with P.J. that is a great deal on the 3250 from DTR. If you to any heavy towing or stop and go driving you might want to consider the DD

How's the OFE behave backing a 10k+ trailer? I need a good clutch, but the wife drives the truck occasionally, so I don't want it too grabby.

I like it alot, a little jerky at first but very controllable.
