im ordering a clutch tomorrow, i just posted in the 3rd gen high perf. area might should have here, still dont know the site really well, question was between the ofe and the fe. i believe now i am going with the fe what do you guys think that pull and drag think? i will occ. do to the 1/8 drags and do tow every other weekend, but its light just a race car. i will Never do the truck pull thang that some of you do but is the fe up to it? just want a good idea of how strong this clutch is and whos tested it, i think all the resonses im getting use the ofe and it sounds great to, but ppe said dont do it! any input on either site would be nice,thanks remember ordering tomorrow cant wait!!!

 

Go with the FE the first time.

 

the insane numbers in your sig, whats behind that motor? 2155 tq what clutch might i ask would hold that?

 

southbend all the way. This is one of the prototype sprung hub dual disks before they were released to the public. Peter asked me to thrash on it, I told him I would be happy to. LOL It has held on for a almost a year so far. The truck has been over 700 HP almost all that time.

 

wow , i quess ive never heard numbers that big on the ol 5.9. thats really impressive, what else clutch have you used to hold your kind of power before this prototype, ever tried the con fe behind your engines in less hp of course.

 

I ran an fe and it held up to about 650 HP. When it was all said and done, I gave it to a customer that could not afford to go with a bigger clutch. He had gotten a bunch of work done and the clutch was not in the budget. It has more than served its purpose. LOL

 

thats great thanks for the reply!

 

If you are going to sledpull at all go with a double disk the singles will slip and they will become junk in short order.
If you are just going to tow and drag race the Con OFE from SBC should suit you well.

 

i will never hook to a sled, just wondering why you also went from the dd to the ofe. why not the fe, im wondering if the diff. in disk material is hard on the flywheel or something. every one says ofe, im just looking at the numbers thats it 550 vers 450 and 1100 vers 900. for very little money diff. i like the look of the extra holding cap. but i do wonder why Most everyone else says ofe. isnt more ussualy better , thats how we see the power right guys!

 

Nothing is wrong with the FE. It will hold more power but it is 'grabbier'.

 

thanks do you have a stick truck what do you run?

 

South Bend 4200 Iron Giant Dual Disc solid hub.

 

oooohhhh i see never mind, i dont want to play.

 

I run the SB 3850 DD. When I buy something like this I always say I would rather buy to much than not enough. I have over 30 hooks this year on this clutch and driving around and even pulling a trailer it does just fine.

 

ok, does a dd like that rattle or vibrate very bad or at all? The centerforce in my 99 dodge rattled really bad. oh and i just ordered the con fe few minutes ago.
