Depends on power level so you may want to list the modifications to the car

Why do you want to change it? Is it worn out? Is the pedal effort too hard? I have great luck with the stock Orielly auto parts replacement clutch. It has an absolutely stock feel to it and holds pretty well. Now, if your car is a 500HP street terror maybe a better clutch would be in order.

I did an auto to manual swap last summer. I used a LUK 07042 clutch kit from rockauto along with a new LUK LFW112 flywheel. Similarily I have a few mods and believe my power level is approx. 330-350 at flywheel. It works great. The car is mainly a cruiser with a few "spirited" jaunts from time to time.

I have a Ram HDX it’s considered a step up from a factory clutch so it still has light pedal pressure but is rated for 400 hp.

Centerforce Dual Friction. Once i used the first one, I've never bought a different one. That's over multiple foxes and my 88 I've had since new.
