It will see track time but mostly street. What will work with sticky tires and still be streetable? Last edited by mikeysmopars; 07/08/15 03:58 AM.

It'll work well for your HP range.

Great set up. I don't rev. to 7000 on purpose, but the engine has been there unintentionally from time to time with no issues. I would recommend CFDF. 4 speed street legal. Best time 10.99 @ 124 mph on 93 octane pump gas @ 3926# total weight

It requires more throw than the stock clutch did to get it to fully disengage with proper throwout bearing space at rest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J3K94cRC1c

My dilema is I have never run a diaphram pressure plate myself though have heard many good things about them. I like the idea of the Dual friction Mcleod with the lever style pressure plate but i'm open to input as many have already. Founder and CEO of the Central Valley Mopar Drag Pack

The guys at South Bend were awesome...very friendly and great customer service! If you tell them what you want to do, they will make you the clutch you need. I figured if they can build a clutch to harness 1200+ lb ft of modified Cummins diesel, a naturally asperated 440 should be no problem. So far, I'm happy with my choice.
