thats why i say I DOUBT IT, as in i really doubt this guy can stand behind his product as well as peter does... i run only southbend also... and peter has always treated me great...
 
I suppose he could try and change the lever arm on the unit, to give the hydraulics more release. But then your loosing engagement travel.

Where a good product makes its money is in the labor. The guy may offer you a great warranty, but if you have to pull the tranny in and out every week cause the clutch keeps messing up. Might not be such a good deal.

sb clutch, he will be getting in some luke flywheels that I will buy also since you guys wont sell just the flywheel, also I am going to purchase your hydralic upgrade even if not needed, it wont hurt nothing.

I hate to say it but, this is a perfect reason why we don't sell the flywheels by themselves. This guy wants to build you a clutch that he says will handle 1000 HP and sled pulling. He does not know what SFI is so that would concern me. If my flywheel were put with his clutch and something were to happen and people were hurt then I would be setting myself up for a law suit. I promise we are not trying to be mean or rude by not offering our components separate. We are just trying to cover our butts.

well I got a buddy thats going to try it first and will see how his holds to pulling, I might just get the iron giant like I was originally going to do but we will see how this clutch holds. And the guys kid has been building these clutches thats why he is unaware if it is sfi approved. I got the guys number that actually designs and builds them so I can ask further detailed questions. And for the fly wheel I just want to get ride of the piece of crap dual mass.

Save yourself the headache and go with the southbend. They are proven and worth the money.

One thing I have been told also and think myself, how did south bend get to be as good as a clutch as they are today, then started out the same way. South bend is the biggest name when it comes to clutches, but valair is catching up also alot of people are starting to go with them. This other clutch might be way better than southbends who knows, it seems people are scared to try and find out new products, all everyone says is southbend is the best which I do not doubt that one bit. Thats why we are going to put it in my buddys truck because his clutch is gone and mine is still perfectly fine just that it is stock, and I honestly doubt southbend and valair or the only few that can build good clutches you have to start some where right, which is right at the bottom and see where it takes you

You are correct, you just need to see if the risk is worth the cost? If your tranny gets destroyed because of testing the clutch is the guy going to cover it? If the flywheel comes apart, are you money ahead? If the clutch fails far from home are you money ahead?
 
Is it balanced? What if it takes out your motor? SB made clutches for years before they got into diesel motorsports.
 
Nick I have been really happy with my Iron Giant and have spoke with Peter on the Phone and Really appreciated the time he took to talk to me.:clap:
