t56 guys, what clutch are you using?
going with a t56 setup behind my 408. Just wondering what you guys are using/have used with yours and what your opinions of it are. Im trying to stay under $500 but i'd rather not have to change it in 6 months either. Thanks

I had an exoskel but it wasn't very drivable. I love the LS7 but there are limitations with drag abuse but i've had no issues yet. The LS7 drives like a stock clutch...go figure. I don't recommend a CFDF. You most likely will have shifting issues with it due to the hydraulics compressing at high rpms due to the slinger weights on the clutch fingers applying pressure back.

have you guys ever tried a RAM powergrip HD? I know alot of the car guys love it, but obviously i've got a bit more weight to think about.

telling you this right now bud with a t56 and 410s you dont have enough gear!!! i run 4.88s and its no where near as bad as ppl thought. 4.88s with a t56 and 30" tall tire is like having 410s and a auto with 30" tall tire
as for clutch your setup should be similar to mine. i picked my clutch cause of power at NA and weight of truck....this is where you shouldnt be cheap!!!
