I run a single disc southbend....and Im pretty sure probably 90% of the rest of the people on this site that have changed a stock clutch went to a south bend single disc.

I know they are expensive.....believe me I know....the most expensive clutch I ve ever bought, but I dont worry about it, I have abused it alittle, and had the opportunity to inspect it after 2 years, it was still new.

They also have nice customer service.

VALAIR Inc!

I have driven a 24V with about 500 rwhp. The truck is an 02, Killer B2 turbo, AFE, Mach 4's and a TST stack. And I couldnt slip the clutch on the truck. I asked where he got the clutch and he said direct from Valair inc. If you wanna see what they have to offer, go to ebay, and type in Dodge Ceramic clutch in the seach. Next you can browse thru the store and see what they have to offer. Their clutches hold! and the price is much more than reasonable.. Please PM me for details. I have a valair goin into my truck this week

I installed a valair ceramic clutch about a month ago and it holds great. Very reasonable price and great people to deal with.

With a few basic mods ive gotten mine to slip quite a bit more than 3 seconds . I believe is just the con fe ?? maybe ofe. i dunno, the 450hp model. high rpm launches arent too nice to do to begin with.

450 would be the Con FE. Which would be a different animal then the Dual Disk 3600 12button clutch he is running.
