I need a new clutch, any recommendations?

I was just wondering if any had some info on clutch brands, sizes, etc. for me because I am in need of a new one. I have stage 2 (75hp) injectors and an Edge juice w/ attitude installed on my 98.5 3/4 ton 5 speed. I will be towing with the truck aswell so I will need something fairly strong. Any help would be appreciated!!!!!

Only 1 clutch to buy. South Bend. Just had to replace mine last week because the throw out bearing went out and messed up the fingers. I had around 200k on that SBC. I was a little short on cash and on my way to get my new to me horse trailer so I went with the 13" con-o. Had to get a new flywheel as well since the 12 1/4" ( I think) is not made anymore. That tapped me out $$$ wise.

I have a Southbend for sale...in box and never taken out. Will take a loss on it - bought it, but then didn't need it. Just sitting on the shelf - could use the $$ more than I can use the spare clutch right now. PM me for details, etc. BTW, I researched and every road pointed to Southbend as being the best.

Southbend

South bend either the 450 hp con ofe, or the 550 hp con fe. the fe is a little more grabby when taking of, or in stop and go traffic you can really feel how grabby it is. either way both clutches tough as nails...period
