I'd like to get one but I cant decide on a SouthBend OFE or DXD-B.

I'd really like to stay with a full face rather than a 6 puck. Would I be sacrificing any kind of performance/grip with a full face rather than 6 puck.

Opinions would be awesome! I was reading up a little bit here and there on them and I found that some complained about a very, very small friction zone which would be a problem while reversing or coming out of first.

I will be using this clutch on my 2JZ-GE-T build so I'd like to have something that would hold 450 HP - 500 HP eventually.

Thanks

BTW I've got everything that i can think of purchased except for the turbo (buying today) clutch and 2JZ-GE.

I had a SB clutch, it held all right but it did seem to have more chatter that stock.

The one I had was a full face dual friction type.
