L98 T56 Swap...is this a good clutch?

Gathering parts for my T56 swap, I already have a McLeod billet steel flywheel, (460350)

Looking at most at 300 horsepower, and 400 foot-pounds at the crank, and almost 100% street use.

Is this clutch a good choice?

Here are the details on the flywheel...it's for an LT1, pull type, which will match the engine/transmission combination. Since my L98 is a 1-piece seal engine, it will bolt right up.
