opinion?
 

im thinking about replacing my southbend OFE clutch which has woren itself out with a valair clutch designed to handle 550 hp and 1100 ft lbs. my truck on the dyno currently hit 463 hp and 1076 ft lbs and the OFE just cant handle that power. whats the opinion of valair clutches, are they worth it?? valair seems to be about half as pricey as southbend, i was worried bout quaility.

Give Peter a call @ Southbend he will take care of ya. :U:

i did, he said it was 1100 bucks for a single disc rated for 500 hp, the valair is only 600 with new flywheel and its rated for 550

i really love my southbend. dd.. it hooks up good...

Something does not sound right...

First off, our biggest single for a 5sp truck is not $1100 as you stated, it is under that.
Secondly, you already have the flywheel upgrade so the clutch would be way less then that. Did you tell us you already had our upgraded clutch? I don't think there has been a time we have not hooked up a customer for repeat business.
Thirdly, Looking at their site, they have nothing close to that price for the price you posted that will handle that power and comes with a flywheel.

DECIDED TO STAY WITH SOUTHBEND, CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NUMBER 1!!

Thats Why they Are the Exclusive Clutch Sponsor of Diesel Bombers !

Peter is the man!!!!!

$1100 for a Single is Robbery. We have the DD Ductile's for $1000 Shipped :U:

This is why when my clutch is toast it WILL be replaced with a SouthBend! :rocking: 4 of my buds run them and pull with them hard and they just keep ticking! All it takes it money though :lol:

I loved my FE in my Dodge. That clutch took ten kinds of hell and never once slipped.
