Your question can not be truely answered without knowing what transmission you run, how much power you make, do you drag race it on sticky tires, etc. There are a number of different clutches out there, but that doesn't mean that they are right for you. I wouldn't put a McCloud twin disc on a stock car, nor would I put a FMS HD in a 600rwhp one. Clutches should be purchased to work with the combo you have. What all do you have done?

I'm with Killer...

My car is basically stock and I went with the ford king cobra with a factory replacement flywheel... it will be stock for a while so I am not worried about the power.

I actually wish I had a heavier pedal and it was grabbier... but it holds the power great...

Im going to have a 28oz fidanza aluminum flywheel for sale very soon. The weights are removable if your assembly isn't 28oz. You would just need to buy w/e weight you need. It will be for sale for a LOT less than $399 unlike that ram. It has 3k miles on it. I'm going automatic otherwise it would stay. Its a killer piece.

I'm going to use the car as a daily driver, but with a few parts (ie. 355 gears, intake, full exhaust). I hope to put a kenne bell in it down the line. I had a centerforce clutch in my old 95 5.0 and it was good, but expensive. So thats what I'm using the car for a prefomance daily driver.

How far away is the KB?

You have to decide if you want a clutch that will hold that now or if you would rather have a clutch that is cheaper and adequate for your combo right now...
