Default New clutch

My2001 f350 6 speed needs a new clutch and I was wondering what is the best clutch out there. This truck will be a daily driver the motor is stock now but will build it up around 400rwhp. It has 38 inch tires and will occasionally be pulling a trailer or hooked up to a sled. Is it okay to go with a clutch that is more than I need. I don't mind spending the money but don't want to waste it. From what I read a south bend dual disk clutch seems like a pretty good option. Any responses appreciated.

I was told as soon as you hook it to a sled you need a dual disk clutch. So that adds about a grand to the cost. I'm running a haisley machine street drag clut in mine

Default South bend

Do you think a south bend Is the best dual disk setup for me. I want a good clutch, something that will hold up if I hook it to a sled, hold about 400hp and handle some abuse, what do u think is the best for me. Thanks for your help.

Default Clutch

Joebob I decided to got with the south bend dual disk street clutch 550-700hp clutch. I was wondering some people have told me instead of taking it easy for the breaking miles they told me to beat it a little to seat it right since it is rate for more hp than my engine makes, any thoughts
