I have a 11hp harbor freight engine with a 14 tooth centrifugal clutch. what size spool and sprocket will I need to get a good pull?

Been a while since I've done this, but maybe 72T sprocket with 6 or 7" spool? (Someone confirm) I'd make the spool adjustable though so you can dial it in perfect. If there's any way to drop the clutch down to a 12 tooth you might be better off. I'd look in to getting a TAV, that thing will yank you pretty good.
