At 600hp the stock clutch is still good. Unless you are dumping $25,000 and getting closer to 800 the stock clutch will most likely hold. Not the NV3500 will not I THINK it's only rated for 300hp and 380tq.

Just buy a twin disc clutch….it’s not considered stage 1 or 2, but the twin disc clutch will hold power and be all you need. We’ve ordered quite a few at shop for Cummins (nv4500) I don’t see how your having issue finding one?

600 HP will smoke an NV3500 the first time you dump the clutch. I wouldn't expect even the NV4500 to survive long with that kind of treatment.

I think the 4500 would if you didn't beat on it. I would either build the 4500 or G56 swap it
