Southbend Con OFE

[duraman03]

I have an 06' with a Smarty and I thought the Con Ofe would hold but no dice! It has been in my truck for about 7 months and about 6 thousand miles. I usually run SW3 with mild tq mngt on the Revo software and tow about 10k once a month. Smoked the clutch pulling my trailer the last two times to the beach,(in the sand) not too hard on it. Last night I raced at my local track(SW9 wild tq) and the second run all it did was slip as soon as I grabed 3rd gear and so on. Firt run was a 15. 2 second was a 16. 4! I guess I need more clutch. Any Ideas? I do not want this to happen again! What do I need in a streetable/Raceable clutch? My truck hit the rollers at 501hp and 952tq with a hot juice. HELP

Now you're scaring me... . so far mine has been holding fine...

At May Maddness 08, Peter from Southbend mentioned a new "streetable" dual disc clutch. He said it engages smoother than a ConFE and has more holding power than the ConFE.

an OFE has no place in a warmed over CR truck IMO



these trucks will murder a clutch with even a moderate programmer (as you've found)



I recomend an FE at MINIMUM in a common rail... dual disk is preferred

Your clutch is only rated to hold 450HP

FWIW, I did 535/1196 on an OFE in my 12v, but it was hating life on the street! LOL

You wrote this last week...

With this post I've decided to refrain from posting about any of the performance clutch issues... ...

And you write this this week...

Have you read the thread on page 2 about this clutch??

That's why I went with South Bend - had excellent service/support on my Y2K truck (Con O in that one).



Thanks Peter

amen!!! I've had South Bend clutches in all of my trucks... Peter has taken care of me every time. And he's gotten me out of a few binds!!!! UPS Saturday Red Overnight is pretty pricey on a dual disk!!!



South Bend's customer service is 2nd to none
