Default Valair Ceramic clutch

Hey guys i had a south bend con ofe in my 24 valve but that cost me a little over 1000 dollars and moneys a little tight seeing that i'm in college. how is the valair all ceramic clutch? its only $474 and i can swing that. and just to let you all know i drive like a jackass 24/7 from lightin up the tires to doughnuts to racing i like to beat stuff. i've blown up all my other diesels. so i need a tough clutch. i only tow our boat in the summer so towing is not that big of a deal. let me know what you think. thanks for the help.

Ceramic makes it an extremely grabby clutch.

That cluch will handle you for a good bit! I have heard it is graby just like Luke said. I have yet to hear any complaints from some of the people I know who use them.

I ran one in my 01 6spd. It will hold the power but its very very grabby. It was almost impossible to back up a trailer.

Did you try backing it up the low gear range? That's what I've always done. I'm not to worried about the grabbiness i only tow 3-4 times a year. thanks for the info Luke. You wouldn't happen to know the cheapest place to buy would you?
