Anyone done this in an ECSB? Hows everything hold up pulling the heavier weight than a RCSB?

Man I wonder what kind of clutch does he use to pull that weight?

Mines 5000lbs in street trim w/o me, so I guess around 5200lbs total. I'm running a SPEC stage 3 and I'm making about 400rwhp/tq. Currently this clutch is trashed and I had another one before that, that was on the way out before the slave failed. I would try a stage 3+ if I wasn't upping the power, but I would be more comfortable with an exoskel or at least an OZ700.

I don't know the difference in the LB and an EC, but I just wanted to see if anyone had done this to an EC and what the life of the clutch was.

2 Spec Stage 3's within a year.

Is this with you beating on it daily or normal everyday driving?

I only get to the track every once in a while due to work and rarely get on it in town due to the cops. Would a good performance clutch hold up to a every once in a while trip to the track and daily driving in an EC?

Also what gear would be good, I assume the 6 speed is geared real low for the first two gears? I have my Eaton and am looking at gears right now. Would the 4.10 be too much? I am doing a motor swap eventually (6.0, LS1) and hate having to do things twice.

Really leaning on doing this swap and get the transmission problem solved before I swap the engine and have to deal with auto tranny issues on down the road. Plus my wife refuses to drive a manual so thats a plus since she won't want to drive my truck to the store anymore!

Thanks

Go with the 4.33's or 4.56's it looks like your runnin a pretty tall tire in your sig. Your rpms should be well below 2000 in 6th gear . I'm doing the swap and I went with 4.56,the A4 is still in and it turns about 2250 runnin 60 mph.
