Default Edge Juice

So i installed the juice, stage 2 AFE intake, and straight piped my truck, reminder i have the manual! Level 3 and up my clutch can't handle, if i let it fully engage then it is not as bad, but if i shift as if i am dragging, then it is like i don't even have the clutch let out! What do you guys recommend i do? What would be the best clutch for this truck, i am looking for more power and bigger tires on down the road! Thanks in advance for the advice!

I don't think there is any question about Southbend being the choice. Having said that, the question is which Southbend. I would go directly to a dual disk. They behave really nice and hold extremely well. I went with a single FE. It holds my power but it is a little tricky to drive. It takes a lot of getting used to it while trying to back a trailer in a tight spot or while trying to baby something. If you forget you have it it will remind quickly if you don't treat the clutch pedal just right. I would go with a 3200 dual sprung hub setup. That will handle quite a bit of power but they behave very well and are very forgiving. If you plan on a boatload of power then go with a heavier setup. Talk to the guys at SB and let them know what you plan to do and they will guide you through the process. I wish I had talked to them before I went out and got mine. The duals are a little more money but you only do it once and you might as well get it right the first time.

I would get atleast the 3600# it will give you ALOT stiffer pedal and may not be the best choice if you do alot of city driving but it should hold atleast 600 ponies and 11-1200 ft lbs IIRC, and if you never want to worry about your clutch go with the 3850...also remember you have upgrade your input shaft and hydraulic set up
