Con O. vs Con OFE
I am starting to think about a clutch for my truck, the tranny will be out soon so it will be a good chance to put a new one in. From everything I have heard South Bend is the way to go. I am wanting the truck to have between 400-500 hp when im done with it(thats what im thinking now anyway). It is my DD and I tow a 7-8K lb trailer from time to time. I am pretty sure the Con OFE would be best for my needs, but I want to hear other opinions.

I'm goin with the Con FE as soon as I decide on what sticks & turbo(s) I'm gonna end up with, pretty sure the Centerforce will let go with much more fuel, I've driven both the OFE & FE & they're both great clutches, I like the stiffer feel of the FE over the OFE, only problem with the FE is if you're loaded heavy you may have to slip it out a bit to keep the jumping to a minimum, Dusty

I would say the OFE would be the absolute min. I have an OFE in my tow rig that dyno'ed 363hp/860tq and I love it, have to be careful when backing up, it will get grabby if you not careful with it, I would suggest low range if you have such an option when backing up loaded trailers.

Thanks for the replys, thats pretty much what I thought. I have been looking around for them and found a couple places that have the OFE for $900. Decent price? Were is the best place to get one?
