Clutch Recommendations, Please....

I have a 1990 Camaro RS with the 305 V8 (completely stock) and the T-5 transmission. I need to replace my clutch kit (210,000 miles) and am looking for recommendations. This is NOT a track car of any kind; it's only a weekend cruiser, with mountain road trips being the most aggressive driving it sees. If I do any engine upgrades or swap, it'll never be more than 300-350 hp/tq. I'm looking for reliable & smooth, with "regular" pedal effort, not too stiff. Probably organic. What do you guys think would fill the bill? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Clutch Recommendations, Please....

My Formula had 155k miles... I just got a McCleod clutch and pressure plate... I got the 10.95 inch one, search for a thread where I put the updated part numbers, I got both for just under $450...

Smooth and easy to drive, no shuddering... my stock clutch was tired... I'm very happy with it...
