By clutch I hope you mean a dual disk, I'm running a 3850 12 button south bend in my truck. You will also want to upgrade your input shaft because they break easy ( you will have to if you put a dual disk in). You will also need a set of traction bars and bump stops.

If you want to pull the 2.6 class you will need to go bigger than that 62mm charger.

Better upgrade that p-pump to a 13mm. bigger charger,cam balance the engine because u need to spin it 5000+ rpms change the gears to 4.88 or 5.13, head work,. That might get you a top five truck. All yea drive the hell out of it too!

The 2.6 points champion around here is real close to 900hp so i would say its pretty serious. All the contedors around Central OHIO have built engines that cost in the 20 to 30 thousand dollar range!

if 4.10's is as big as you can go I would stay with your 3.54's and pull in 3rd low and put a set of 5k springs in there.

edit - if you can't turn over 4k then I would still keep the 3.54's and run 2nd high

If your just starting out there is no need for a 13mm pump, your stock ppump will do just fine.

You should how ever add a 5k gsk, full cuts,5x16's, and a bigger turbo
