Clutch upgrade?
I am looking for a better clutch for my 05' 6.0L. The stock one slips alot. Does anyone know if there are any good kits out for these yet? I can't stand not being able to apply this trucks power to the ground!!!

I do believe this has been asked before - I shall search for a little and see if I can find the manufacturer which got mentioned previously.
On edit: It appears that South Bend Clutch in Indiana are thee only ones that have a 6.0l clutch.

Hey, sorry about the delay. Thank you for the info. I will give South Bend Clutch a call. To answer your question, Yes, I do run a programmer. The mods are as follows:
Zoodad, EGR bypass, 4" Downpipe, 5" exhaust (straight, no cat or muffler), Edge Juice w/ Attitude controller and 2 stage water/meth injection. The edge on 5/5 by itself was too much for the clutch to handle, but when it did hold, I could lay a pair of black marks over 300" long in 2nd gear. What really killed it was the 37" tires and 8" lift. I can barely launch off the line or do back-to-back pulls without it slipping. I hate the smell of burnt clutch. I want to change it out with something stronger and switch to 4.30 gears. I miss the power it had before I lifted it.
