Is that 600lb-ft at the crank or the wheels? Either way we have something that will fit your needs. Take a look at the link below. Our torque capacities are rated at the crank. Let me know if you have any further questions amd I will be happy to assist you further. Thanks

while there are stage "x" type clutch discs rated to hold that kind of TQ my $02 is go with a twin disc clutch type. McLeod is one brand and I am sure more who make a twin disc. Street maners and longevity will long out last a single disc type, especially one with aggressive disc material.

my bad, it dyno'ed at about 500hp/570tq... since it got retuned for sea level and a little more boost i can only guess it is over 600tq to the wheels. driving style: daily/weekend aggressive driving when not driving like an 80yr.old grandma with glasses as thick as a double stuffed oreo cookie

Mcleod does make a single disc/clutch kit for LT1 and also a "dual disc" kit.

with your power I would go with a "twin disc" clutch but it will be over $1k
