We run the 11" in our heavy. Both will work for you, but you can save some weight with smaller clutch and smaller aluminum or titanium can if component.

Call Darrin Rursch, he'll steer you in the right direction. If you don't have a flywheel already, I'd lean towards 12.5" for lower maintenance.

Would be ag chassis. Didn't know if 11 would hold up, end up changing floaters and disc often. Had a 11 in superfarm once and was to small and went to 12.5. But with lighter weight of LSS maybe 11 would be ok. Thanks for your suggestions.

11" in an Ag chassis with a 4 disk setup, mine was on alcohol, but ran 6 seasons, changed disks & floaters twice in 6 seasons. Be ready to adjust the clutch about every 3 runs or so.

What kind of horsepower level are you going to see. At 2000 hp, I have no problems with 11" crower.

How much you slide the clutch out of the hole governs most of the wear I think. How many weights on the fingers also. Alcohol multi charger is different than diesel. The diesel needs the clutch there more to build boost and hold at lower rpm, usually, than alcohol. New heat shields are a must with floaters and discs every 2 years competing hard at 30 + hooks a year.

If you want a clutch.. to depend upon.. in good times an bad. Loose soil and hard biting. Driver friendly. Big power... you will know the difference.

That is a VERY VERY true statement. I have to double and sometimes triple slide my clutch in order to get on top of the turbos at the line and by doing that I have worn out the front floater in my clutch assembly. But hey, I am turning a BIG top charger with a little motor which is not supposed to happen.
