Actually, I'm suprised you still have a stock cluth with all your mods, you could pull with it, but I would stay in 3rd gear, Low range and don't slip much off the line or you will never get it to grab again after that. I had less mods than that with my stock clutch(power puck and 60hp inj. ) and overpowered mine. My advise would be to skip the pull and upgrade your clutch first.

I say pull with it. If it goes, oh well, you were going to have to do it sooner or later anyways.

yea put the 125 injectors in 2day the ol stock clutch dosent hold at all so go 4 it or not???

If it were me, I think I would hold off until I got a heavier clutch. You have already slipped it just playing around with it, if you hook to a sled in anything over 2nd low, it will probably fry it completely. With the mods your showing, put the heavier clutch in then start handing out the whoopin's. But that is just my opinion-Nicholas

if i want to hook say 3 times a year at most can i do it with a sinlge disc or do i need to drop the cash 4 a dual disc???

I would say get the dual disk... ... ... you will trash a single in one pass. Buy the one that is made for what you plan to do.

I am with James, If your gonna play, get the Dual Disk. I have a 3850 12 puck DD in my '96 from south bend, and it works great. Just be sure to get the newer style with springs, so it won't chatter so much. -Nicholas
