Need Help. Which Clutch?

Im going crazy tryin to figure out whats gonna work the best for my truck. First i was fine with just gettin a single disk to hold some extra power but now i've been thinkin i might like to go to the track or sledpull a little so i might need the dual disk. but this is my daily driver so that might be a pain in the a** plus I have to back up to and pull trailers a lot so a graby clutch might be a problem. Id like to be able to do it right the first time and not need to buy another clutch. anyway now that im done whining what do some of you guys with dual disk think about them as a daily driver. Any opinions to my situation?

Sprung hub DD all the way! They are way quieter and have better street manners than they're predecessors.

650hp for mine an FWIW if I had it to do over I would get the 3850. No I most likely will never need it but for the extra 100 hp and only 250lbs on the plate load I think it would have been worth it. I didnt notice my pedal bein much stiffer after the first week of drivin it.

thanks for all the help guys. lol looks kinda one sided so i think i found a winner. Wap which clutch do you have? the one just under 3850 is the 3600 right? so now i just need to decide how much "grabbiness" is right for me? If its not much stickier than a stock clutch then backin up to trailer wouldn't be a problem right?
