what year truck do you have? '05.5+ ctd's used the g56- reverse is next to 2nd (down and to the left).

 

i paid $750 for clutch,$200 for hydraulics,and 3.5 hours labor,total $1,234

 

is the [hyd. upgrade manditory or recommended] the pedal feel is close to factory, any one tryed the centerforce, the idea of the light pedal but increased holding power at higher rpm due to the centrifical wieghts sounds like a good idea, i need one pretty bad just cant make up my mind either. i used to make 46+ lbs want even hold 30 now.

 

for g56 the hydraulic upgrade is mandatory. imo the centerforce is not in the same league as even the sb stock hp clutch- if you're going to do it you should do it right and sb is the path to clutch happiness.

 

got ya, same story as every one else must be that good, my mind is made up on the sb con ofe, dont know my hp or tq. numbers but by boost readings i think ill be 450-500 range sure the ofe is up for it do you know what the rate it for? for my driving the fe is prob. ok i hear its jerky somewhat, i dont drive in traffic very much, how jerky is it, and is it still friction material all the way around or those little pucks?

 

the ofe is rated for 450hp.
friction material all the way around

there are many factors as to how much a clutch will hold. driving style, usage, how fast the power comes in, etc.
these CR motors make so much tq at low rpm, you can easily overwhelm a clutch if you arent using your head.
my ofe has lasted a year now, with about 15 dyno runs, all over 500 hp, 1 sled pull and a bunch of hotrodding. but i do not slip it or ride the clutch.

 

thanks, sounds like you def. have more power than me and im very happy with what i have and no intention to upgrade ,power that is, im easy on a clutch so sounds like the ofe is the right choice, i still have the extreme seeting on the ppe ive never tryed so when i get clutch in i still get a big upgrade waiting for me! thanks someone sugg. buying from here, wheres it located and price also heared members get a discount is this true? thanks

call and talk with lary at the dtr store. sbc products are not listed in the store, but lary has them.

 

thanks ill give him a call.

 

Also if I can suggest you to call Peter at South Bend Clutch. He was a nice guy, knowledgable... will help make the final final choice....

 

whats dd clutch in your sig.

 

Dual Disc... Probably a little more than you need (and I need), and the pedal pressure is significantly more. However, longevity and the huge amounts of power you can push with these clutches are amazing.

 

ok, yea i prob. will only need the single disk, ofe . with your dd i bet you can use your smarty to the fullest, this will be fun, ever ran yours in the 1/8?

 

Yep, but the extra time it takes for me to disengage and re-engage the clutch actually cost me time. But again, with the handshaker, I guess I didn't by the truck to drag race... But catch me on the highway in fifth/sixth, and on level 9 this things pulls...

 

do you have the 3250? if so how is pedal pressure, towing, and grabiness? peter could'nt say enough about it but man the price!
