Mine handles the edge/pred stack no problem.

 

If you plan on any type of competition especially boosted launches you better go DD. Also, I think the ofe would be fine but why not just go ahead and get the FE ya know?

 

For the 100th time I have changed my mind...I think I want the DD....man I is going crazy!!!!!

 

Ive got the Con FE and it is actually really well mannered. Its easy to run on the city streets and is good on the highway. Peter told me that remember its an aggressive clutch and needs to be driven aggressively. Every now and then I have to get on it a bit, but its really pretty easy to drive. Even my girlfriend can drive it pretty well, and she rarely drives a manual.

 

when i spoke to peter, he said to stay clear of the fe if you think you'll be spending any time towing.

 

The OFE it is then. I'd love to have the dd but don't have the dough right now. Thanks for all your input guys!

 

Yeah, I could see towing with my FE but I couldn't see backing the trailer your towing very well. It is really grabby.

 

So is the OFE while backing up, especially with a trailer behind you.....

 

Wow, the ofe is that grabby too? I didn't know that, everyone always told me the ofe was a lot easier than the fe for engagement and slipping.

 

Hey guys,

My fe held up better then my NV 5600 did. I managed to break the transmission but the clutch didn't slip...

I put down 561 on the dyno on my daily driven setting (smarty sw9) The ofe hasn't slipped yet.

 

My driveway is kind of steep and if I slip the clutch at all it's jerky for sure.

 

The guy that has my old truck in my sig has a con fe in it and its very grabby. It definetly doesn't slip, the stocker didn't start slipping until I started pulling heavy with it every day. The fe is overkill for that truck, as it probably only puts down about 415ish rwhp. He needs to trade it for an ofe so the truck won't rattle your teeth out while trying to take off in 2nd.

As far as if the ofe will hold, I would yes it should hold just fine. My truck has the stock clutch still and just barely slips with around 480 rwhp and 35's. I don't see why the ofe which is rated at 450 hp wouldn't hold compared to a stock clutch which is rated to hold 350hp if that. And like stated above those clutches are rated very conservatively.

 

Well, I'm slipping my FE with what's in my sig. I tow a lot with this truck. At first it took a little to get used to but now I don't even think about it. All of my launches are no throttle though and that's with 10k in tow or not and in forward or reverse. I do have a hard time driving any other manual now though. I'm going to a DD this Summer. Good luck.

 

gus, did you call me a moron?

i havent slipped the ofe yet. i have even sled pulled with it. my injectors go in saturday, and i'll see how it holds up then. I'll let you know.
