SB or Haisley DD clutches

I am going to buy a clutch and don't know which one to buy South Bend DD or Haisley DD street drag. I tow around 10k, I like to race those maxipads and powerjokes around town. I wounld also like to take it to the drag strip ever now and then. I only have a qaud race box now but would like to grow maybe a bigger turbo and tst stacked or something around that nature. I have been known to be a little rough on my stuff but not to bad. Any suggestion on which would fit my needs better and any personel experience.

I have the SB 3650 12cb DD clutch. It's a little hard on your leg, but the holding power is out of this world! I've done hundreds of 3rd gear 4x4 launches when drag racing, and quite a bit of sledpulling as well. I think the Haisley is easier on your leg, and maybe a little more streetable if you never plan on sledpulling. The SBC clutch has the superior Borg & Beck style pressure plate, that's why I picked it...

I have the SB 3600 12cb DD clutch, with the stock hydrolics, pedal was stiff and hard to shift, but after installing SB's hydrolic upgrade, the pedal is like stock, and a real pleasure to drive.

but it is noisey, but no more or less than a haisley.

I just installed in the Haisley street drag about 700 miles ago in my truck. It is still on stock hydraulics and hasnt had any trouble but someday i will probably switch them out for the 12v type setup. It holds very well, but requires a little more rpm's on take off to make it smooth or else you get a little chatter. Overall quite happy with my decision.

My Street Drag has taken a beating and it keeps coming back for more! I've had it for about 25k miles now and haven't had any issues with it. I have done countless 1/4 mile passes with it and it holds fine and shifts very fast. You can see my power level and 1/4 miles times in my signature. I would buy it again without question.

If your just going to drag race and tow it sounds like the Haisley street drag is better suited for your purposes.

Why not a Zoom clutch? They are a variable plate load clutch up to 4000 lbs at ~3200 rpm, but will go a little higher. Saw it on a clutch dyno at SEMA, where it showed 3977 lbs at 3175 rpm. All this done with a button type single disk.

I am leaning more to the haisley street drag. I want fast shifts too is the south bend a slow shifter clutch. Also would the haisley street drag hold up to one county fair sledpull a year. thanks for the help so far men

The Street Drag should hold a sled pull here and there just as long as you don't slip it a lot when pulling out of the hole. The friction material holds very well and can be modulated/slipped some for smooth takeoffs or high RPM drag launches, but I don't think you'd want to ride the pedal for 100' with a sled behind you.

The only thing you have to worry about with sled pulling with the drag twin is you have to launch at under 1500rpms. or atleast that is what i was told.

that I am pretty sure is impossible. I had trouble slipping my stock clutch in between 2000-2200 Rpm so 1500 would be down right insane.

I not sure which is better but I do know that Haisley's build very good products and stand by them as well. I know the Haisley's very well(grew up with Curt) and like someone said earlier, they are very knowledgeable when it comes to CTD.

Ya its not fun because you have to use a low gear. I used 3rd low and you just cant get enough wheel speed.
