SBC 3600# vs. 3850???
I bought the 3600 at Petes request but now im seeing alot of the 3850's. I think I saw a couple of 4200's is that right. I assume this rating is based on the amount of preassure on the plate or........? Im not sure. I was just wondering how much difference there will be on my clutch when I start to sled pull vs. the 3850's etc. I understand that I need to slip the clutch to pull in some situations and was just curious what will happen?

if you plan to pull I would get that 4200 iron giant. I dont pull, but know alot of guys that do. the 3600 is not holding up in a local 2nd gen thats not that powerful and the truck hasnt been pulled much. I would go for the best. I hear they have an iron giant II or III out now. pourin diesel should chime in he has ran a couple from south bend

The sbc 3600 hasnt given me any troubles yet and I did get the bigger 2nd gen hyd. but I have yet to pull with it. When I bought it I told him just mostly street/tow with the occasional sled pull or drag race. And so far I still like it I just wanted to know what the road ahead of me looks like. Sounds like if people arent happy with the 3600 I might be getting an iron giant I, II, or III soon.

I run a 3850 in the 98 with the big input shaft, not a bad setup at all, and I've never broken it loose at a pull. I run with a gutted AFC and no plate, so I'm making around 450-500hp with the setup and the clutch holds fine, plus its not too much of a pain to drive in town if need be.
