That clutch wont handle the sled. That clutch is designed for heavy trailer and hard street use. It doesnt have enough load to take boosted launches and sled pullin.

the different in the cost is a nodular flywheel is used in the street applicaitons, we offer billet sfi aprroved as well but they arent in the 900.00 range. We do not recommend sled pulling in any non sfi unit.

yeah valair makes another one for around 1500$ but then i still need the imputshaft. it says its good for 850hp, and you have a wide selection on pressure plates. thats alot of money tho. i dont need that one thats for 850hp. i only need a clutch that rated for prolly 600 but i want to to pull with. idc about boosted launches i dont do them anyways.

If your gonna sled pull you will have to do a boosted launch ... unless you are going to try and shift( not a good idea)

It's not so much the power that gets you into trouble its the load. You could have a pretty much stock truck but anything less than double is going to be eaten alive. The plate load needs to be high enough that you can come out of the hole and slip the motor into it.

It's also a single plus it has organic facings. Once you slip an organic clutch it glazes over and will continue to slip from then on.
