Your going to need more than a stock clutch. I slipped mine with just a box with stock injectors. Let me know If I can help ya pick out the right clutch.

And i definatly wont be up around 500 hp at all, im just looking to build a mild street machine, and get some good fuel milage. Not really wanting to get crazy with this one. Just want to build it to be reliable and get a lil out of it, plus i fell in love with a new harley so i gotta save up for that haha

Hmmm that throws a twist to this all haha. So probably not very streetable then? So i should probably look into a DD any ways. This truck is my daily driver and im not looking to do any heavy hauling, pulling or anything. Just drive it around and enjoy a little bit of power.

You could do a Valair Ceramic/Kevlar Single Disc.
