FWIW my stock 03 clutch has held an EZ on 4 since it was new, including towing. After I added the BDDL triple dog I can slip the clutch at 60mph when I pull out to pass once in a while. I have to try hard to do it and the combination of those two has a considerably larger kick in the pants than just one or the other.

I also ran just the BDDL tri-dog on extreme for most of the summer w/o the EZ plugged in and no slippage.

Well you could always test it:

Take the engine rpm up to around 3500, then slowly start to ease out on the clutch and wait for it to catch....

Mine held with the Quad Race. It also held with the BDDL.

It held with the TST on 5x5, until I stacked it with the downloader. Roasted the clutch shifting 4-5. The clutch grabbed, boost shot up, and I couldn't tell whether the boost gauge or the tach was moving faster. Slip city!

Now it won't hold over 3x3 (downloader stock) in 5th or 6th.

My 05 Nv5600 has handled two sledpulls with th juice on 100hp pulling in 3rd low. I now have the BDDL stacked with the juice and can with both the juice turned up and BDDL turned up can slip through 5th and 6th. I would say they can handle 100hp in moderation but that is about it.

Mine was good for about 30000 miles, but after to many third gear burnouts it started to slip. Installed a centerforce stage 3 dual friction and it made a huge difference in performance.
