Chad, they are non sfi rated so they are not usually accepted in most pulling sanctions or racing sanctions. They are however a cheaper alternative for a street only vehicle that needs the extra holding power. They are still built with the same quality that south bend puts in each unit.

As Lloyd says, they are one tough clutch and the average street racer will love it. The downside is that it will not hold up to heavy racing and sled pulling abuse.

They are one of the fastest shifting doubles out there as well
