Tomorrow I will be ordering alot of goodies and need to know what clutch I will need. I plan to make between 450-500whp and will see the 1/4 mile a few times a year, plus alot of daily driving. So its got to hold power and still be well mannered.

I like my valair clutch in the 98.5 it's suppsed to be good for 450hp it's the ceramic on one side and Kevlar on the other it is smooth on take off and not so jerky

southbend CON-FE ?? its the best single disc you can get

maybe the DD 3400 but that would be snappy.

So the con-fe will hold up to some 1/4 mile runs alright? I just dont want to get a clutch that wont last. I'm not going to be slipping it off the line to build boost, mostly just your average dump and go. lol

I went to a website to order the clutch and they list 2 con-fe's for the first gen. One for 13-1.375 for $975, says its good for 450hp/1000tq. The other is a 13-1.25 for $955 says its good for 550hp/1100tq.

Which one do I get?

Just guessing but I would bet the 13x1.375 is for a 1 3/8" input and the 13x1.250 is for the 1 1/4" input which is what the stock getrag and NV4500HD come with stock. The NV5600 comes with the 1 3/8 input and is avaiable as an upgrade for the NV4500HD but I've never heard of one for the Getrag. Like I said just a guess so I'd make a call before ordering.

Check with Lary. I think the DTR store carries Southbend.

IMO if it's rated for 450 hp, that means will hold 450 normal driving for a long time or just a few trips down the strip. Shooting for a 550 hp clutch would be better suited for a 450 hp 1/4 mile racer.
