Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Need advice on a clutch

[AKron]

Well I finally made a few passes at the local drag strip on friday. I ran a 9. 9 in the 1/8 mile and thought I was doin pretty good. Then tonite my clutch died. Im plannin on goin with a DD this time but I dont know all of the different kinds. I am looking for something I can do some sled pulling with and maybe a few passes at the track. Most importantly I need to have a streetable truck and my trailer. I remember reading about SBCs 3850 DD? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would looke at the South Bend 3600 12CB or the 3850 12CB. Both these clutches work well on the street and can be used for sled pulling. Look here for a description of all SBC DD clutches: http://www.performancedieselwarehouse.com/795665.html

DD make it time consuming to shift gear might think about that if ur gonna put it on the strip most of the time other that that i love that iron giant

I have the FE 13" upgrade in my '96, really like it, drives easy, but I don't know how much TQ & HP you can throw at it. Bear in mind when you build a rig for competition you give up a little on the drivability side.

I might go to the track 5 times a year and only for fun and Im plannin on pullin locally, maybe 10 times? What is teh difference on the buttons in those two clutches? 6 or 12? Also would I have to upgrade the hydraulics?

Thanks
