Manual transmission question

My friend has an '06 dually. Tryin' to find out what kind of power his manual trans can handle before we start doing any mods. I know the clutch will probably have to be changed, but what else? And what do y'all recommend for a clutch? Thanx.

I am wanting a Southbend OFE. When changin the clutch you should replace the dualmass flywheel with a single mass. Other than that change the oil to some high quality to try and reduce heat and thats about it.

My stock clutch held a 130 horse quad and later an mp8 with no worries. My currnet stack is a diff story.

My stock clutch could'nt handle the Smarty on the 130HP setting and you have to be careful with even the 90hp

I'm running the same stack as Wap. I set the MP-8 no higher than 25% and the TST at 3/2 and everything feels fine right now. I'm sure that if I "Enjoy" my newfound power that I will also need that clutch upgrade soon...

Check my sig.

The harder I pound on it, the more it wants. Note: These results are not typical. I dont know how my clutch or flywheel are holding up to this. I run with just one box mostly and it alone dynoed 428hp on the ground
