The Zoom isn't any cheaper than an SB. It has weighted arms that add pressing force to the pressure plate as rpm increases.

Seems like a good idea to me, a lot like a professional drag racing clutch.

it cant hold the torque of a diesel with how heavy these trucks are and its not a 9000rpm motor with the cummins 3000rpm is all u got down low at 1200 when the torque comes on the weighted arms do nothing my center force lasted twice as long as the zoom but it mite work for you i tow very heavy

It's just like a centerforce. They will not hold the torque of these motors. They'll do fine for a while, but then they will go out. You will be much better off going with a Southbend. They have higher pressure ratings, and will handle alot more torque.
