For the pirce you can't beat the ford racing king cobra clutch. My clutch has been on 2 different cars and is still holding great. It held up to a blown 289 on slicks running 11.4s. Now it is behind my daily driven 347 that so far has gone deep in the 12s. However the pedal is kinda stiff. I kinda like it though. Once again we need to know what your mods are to make recommendations.

I just did the "whch clutch should I get?" poll thing and ended up with a dual Friction McCleod, love it. Grabs great and has good drivability, no clanging or anything. NYCE.

Edit: but as eveyone mentioned and I found out first hand, it all depends on hp/tq...there's alot of choices out there.

Sorry to say but the King Cobra is crap for anything over 350RWHP, I'd go McCleod twin disc, or a Spec stage 2 as my second choice. BTW the stage 3 Spec is a nightmare to drive on the street its hella chattery.

Ram 900 series. Pedal is as light as a stock clutch, tons of grab.

Exedy Hyper single feels like stock and performs under anything you can throw at it.
