I have a quick question about the CON OFE for the 5-spd. It says it is good for 400-525 HP, is this engine or rear wheel? I am pushing around 425 rear wheel and would like to know if this will hold. Also, I dont run this much power all the time.

 

Probably flywheel. It should be able to hold it. Once you get it in there, you'll be able to run max power all the time. ;D

 

South bend seems to rate the clutches under what they will truely hold. I have seen a many truck pushing a little over what the clutch is rated for and it still holds.<br>DM01

 

I get the feeling Im missing something cause on their site I read where that clutch is rated at 450 hp. Peter told me that they rate em about 50 hp under the max hp they expect them to hold.

 

Do you guys think I would have a problem hauling with the CON OFE for the 5-spd. I have had a couple people tell me that I would have to go with the 6 speed clutch to have it hold up, but I have a hard time beleiving that. I have over 15,000 miles on the stock clutch so the South Bend should last a lot longer.

 

Depends on what you haul. I have a 2500 truck and the things I haul would make even a 3500 grown. Peter told me that I haul too heavy and that the center of the disc would not hold up under such strain. He said to go with the 13 conversion clutch. He said If I hauled what the truck is rated to haul it would be fine.<br>DM01

 

I haul a 44 foot enclosed car trailer. I am not sure what it weighs but I am sure it is pretty heavy.
