clutch options

I just installed my new # 10 plate and It only took one test drive to relize my stock clutch would not handle it. Who sells a good clutch/pressure plate for a reasonable price. Another question is will I need to go with the 13" instead of the 12.1/4 stock dia. clutch. I sometimes tow 20,000 lbs. My truck is a 1997 3500, man trans. Thanks Chris

ValAir makes a pretty dang smooth clutch that will hold plenty of power I've towed a few small loads with mine and it is just as nice and smooth as could be They are very reasonably priced as well!

Peter at southbend is great to deal with and has great products but prices are kinda high for me. http://www.southbendclutch.com

Valair has some nice clutches, just installed one in a buddies truck yesterday seems to be a great product so far. Dan was great to do business with and his prices are very resonable. http://www.valairinc.com/performance.html
