good tranny jack is key!!
and DONT force it in....you can walk it in but you gotta be super careful..it has to walk in completely leveled and even ALL the way around the bell housing.

i was looking at the SB site today and it looked like the OFE comes with a new flywheel. if i get a new flywheel with it then it will only cost me $350 install because i won't have to get my old one turned. anyways i will let you all know it works out.

also on the track if i rev the motor up to about 2K or even 2500 in 2nd and dump it will it mess up the clutch? or should i just take off normal but fast?

Thanks for all the help.

Thanks,
Eric

No offense, but who ever told you you cant drag w/ the DD 3250 is wrong. I was going through the same you where, so I called Peter told him I was eventually going to be at 650hp and was going to drag race it quite a bit, but no pulling and he said that the DD3250 is the perfect clutch. The fact its only a 150 bucks more than the OFE I think you should have went w/ it. It wouldve given you room to go also.

I would have went with the dd. You can pull with th ductile flywheel. Look at haisleys street puller on a modified stock 6 speed flywheel or enterprises engines pullin clutch on a stock flywheel. For 1100 dollars for the ofe, you can buy a non sfi dd from powerparts engineering for 1350. I would tow anything you can think of with my pulling clutch. It is way smoother than the single disc while holding a crapload more horse. Just my two cents. Tim
