Well my clutch is starting to slip. Now I must decide to either put in a better clutch or lower the horse power[yeah right]. Maybe I should ask the wife? #ad

The other decision is should I use Centerforce or the Dual disc?

Paul, I've seen your posts and have a relitive guess of your hp #'s, I bought a centerforce from 4wheel part after calling centerforce to get the part # and talk to the tech to see how much power it would hold, he told me it will hold over 1050lbs of torque at the rear tires and they had done it, sold(495. 98), I bought it installed it, broke it in and went wheeling, it lasted 700 miles and 9 days, the friction material on the front desintagrated leaving only the rivits and corners, yah it got hot but nothing more than the stocker had that lasted 113k, so I sent it back(30) with the knowledge that everyone with the same experiance had got nothing back even with the "90 day" warranty, so I baught the Jim Leonard dual disc for 1200, its been great, acctually I had two diffent disc because the first set(pulling) I broke the input shaft and bent the discs and the presant(street), it has very little chatter and less peddle pressure than stock and holds great with all I throw at it. I don't want to see you spend 1900 for a 1200 dallor clutch but its your choice and my opinion and bad experiance,Adam

No I would stay away from the centerforce. It all depends on how much you want to spend and the way you use you truck. I tried a single disk pulling clutch and can't get it to hold up to the type of holeshots that I'm doing. I'm looking for 500hp and i want no slip when launching at the line. I'm now getting the Mccledo pulling clutch.

We have some folks lining up for a group purchase of the McCleod dual disc. Anyone interested get on board. The savings is likely to be only 150 bucks but I'll guaratee you this sucker will hold #ad
I posted the topic on the 24v forum. Lets keep it at the top and next week I'll call George to see what gives.
 
Thanks HVAC. Just what I need when I need it!! #ad
