That cam is not a good match for 3.31 gears. It will be a little on the radical side, with a peak at around 6400-6500. If you go with a TKO 600, I'd step up to a 3.70-3.89 gear.

The TKO 600 is only about $90 more than the TKO 500, so it's really a no-brainer.

For the clutch, I would use a RAM Powergrip clutch kit, 11" Long, rated for 550hp.

I think your 480hp estimate is a little conservative, but it will depend on which intake you use and how detailed the engine build is.

If you have questions on the engine build or drivetrain selection, I'll be happy to help you out.
