well we yanked my old engine out today, and I decided to go ahead and replace the clutch while Im at it, the flywheel is at the machine shop now.
question is, how much can a stock clutch handle, or do I want to go with the "heavy duty " version for 50 bucks more?
thanks

It's not the clutch that is typically the problem, it's the tires that hook and destroy a clutch.
With your mods listed, a King Cobra is more than enough.
