99-03 Power Stroke - MU 1944 6sp - Stock Power
99-03 Power Stroke - MU 1944 Con O 6 sp - 350 hp, 750 ft lbs of torque
99-03 Power Stroke - MU 1944 Con OFE 6 sp - 450 hp, 900 ft lbs of torque
99-03 Power Stroke - MU 1944 Con FE 6 sp - 550 hp, 1100 ft lbs of torque

I would suggest the OFE. I've used this clutch in my truck and loved it. It will leave you room for more added power later. They are also offering a replacement unit that uses the factory flywheel. Call Peter at SB and ask him for suggestions and part #'s. Like I said if you order from Larry at DPP you'll save a few bucks.

I would recommend the OFE - best of both worlds and will certainly hold any further mods that you will be doing. It will also provide great towing ability where the FE won't do the best job especially when backing a trailer.

If you only use the truck for street use and never with a trailer or to tow a load I'd say go FE but since you use your truck to tow I'd have to say OFE. The FE will be grabby - it's either in or out and not much in between.
