Question Clutches

My clutch was going out before I took apart the engine so I decieded to replace it now since I have the money and my car is already down but I have no idea on what clutch to get so any suggestions would be appreciated. My mods are listed in signature thanks.

Alum flywheel, mccleod single disk, and a genuine gm lt4 PP. 365 rwhp on motor, 510 rwhp on nitrous. Hits well for me.

I "HIGHLY" recommend South Bend Clutches. Look them up on the web. I had one built for my Viper that dynoed at 983 rwhp. Then I got one for my SS and it has worked like a dream. Handles anything you throw at it, even a 300 shot! I have used every brand you can think of and this is the best one hands down!! They are not a huge company that spends tons of money on press but they know there stuff and build everything themselves unlike most other clutch companies.
