Default Slipping clutch! How much more can I go with a cable?

Clutch is slipping under hard throttle, already in gear.. This is whats in the car.. "Ram Performance Clutch" pressure plate #415 long style non-adj it's 10.5 inch and only 1800 lbs. The disc is one of "Rams" better --# 905 it's 10.5 inch x 1 1/16th - 10 spline.. Lakewood bell-fork-bearing-pivot.. Trans is a Tremic 500-ford-10spline... Engine is a "Keith-Craft" 408 W. 535 HP & 556 ft. lb. TQ.. Right now the clutch is by cable, and pedal pressure is pretty-easy!! I'd kind-a like to keep it cable..(it's simple) Everything else staying the same-- RAM has a 2600 lb. pressure plate. I wonder if that would hold it.. All this is in my Shell Valley Coupe- about 2400 lbs. Tires are 315-35r-17 and a 3.25 gear.. A few yrs back I remember braking a Z-bar (75 Ramcharger 4wd-
12" monster pressure) CAN I HOLD THIS THING AND KEEP THE CABLE?? How much more do I "really" need. THanks!!
