thinking about entering pull this weeked
Well guys, as the title says, im thinking about entering a pull this weekend. The only issue im having is the fact id be pulling on my weak stock clutch. Would i totally grenade my clutch trying to pull a 9K lb sled or do you think it would make it through. I am right now, as i tpye this, looking at SBC DD clutches. I had originally planned on an OFE, but i might try to go to more truck pulls and enter them so im now looking into their DD line. Please tell me which clutch would suit me best for drag racing AND sled pulling.
ANyway, back on topic, should i even attempt to pull the sled this weekend or not risk it and wait for a DD clutch

I would recommend a DD clutch for both drag racing and sled pulling. You can burn on it longer for pulling and launch in 3rd gear for drag racing. I guess it depends on how serious you are and how much fuel and air you have.

thats what i was thinking, anyone got a price on one of those babies????
IM assuming its this clutch here....
SBC DD 3850 Street Comp 12 CB Lever type pressure plate with heavy increase in pedal pressure, 12 ceramic buttons per side of disc, 750 hp (good for sled pulling)
WILL require hydraulic upgrade

When I was dealing with SBC he didn't reccomend any of his clutches for sled pulling. He wouldn't warranty them either. He was pissed that day cause some guy was tryin to take him for a clutch. Blew it pullin and tried to deny it. He said he probably would have taken care of the guy if he hadn't lied to him about it.
Bein a young guy, just don't let your enthusiasm overide your wallet by to much. You run out of money you may find yourself run out of truck. This stuff is expensive and the repairs never run out.
