Wait on the injectors until whoever is tuning your car tells you what you are going to need. Chances are you will be maxed out on DC with the stockers, so you will just have to take it easy til you get tuned with a different set.
Trillions of options on the clutch. This isnt the section for that portion of this though, however, I have run about 6 different kinds and liked/hated certain things about them.
Stocker = fail
Ram Powergrip was decent and took a while for it to start failing to absorb abuse.
Centerforce Dual Friction was dookie at holding a cam only setup.
Mcleod adjustable master with Ram Twin Disc was probably my favorite. Allthough heavy the aluminum flywheel offset the extra weight. Smooth engagements under harsh loads.
LS7 Heavy clutch, holds really well. Never slipped...yet.
Spec3+ Decent clutch even after all the bad hype they got for a while. Held pretty well.
Textralia clutches are expensive and people that run them generally like them.
Also check out Monster. I hear they are the bomb!

For me.. I don't like to do stuff over again. So I'd check with ur tuner on the injectors and order them prior to ur tuning day..
I have a spec 3+, feels good - not crazy stiff. Holds good power - so you will have room to play if u throw some juice at it.

Which heads/cam (and therein your power expectations) will help determine which clutch will suite your needs best. We've had tremendous success with the Monster line-up and they offer a warranty that is unheard of!

No need to wait for the tuner - just get some 42# Ford SVO injectors and you'll have PLENTY of room with a H/C/bolt-ons setup. You could go smaller for sure but this would give you room to grow. Just make sure that whatever injectors you get are not installed until your tuner is at your house or your car is at the tuner (don't drive it with bigger injectors and not tuned for them).

Not to thread jack but do the 42lb SVO injectors hook up with are stock wiring harness?
Also i can back up the Monster Stg 3 clutch. Awesome clutch. Will buy one again.
