Default which clutch

Which clutch should I get for a 1993 5.0L? It's for daily driving but I do plan to boost a little. I've heard King Cobra's suck. Which brands are good?

I have a spec stage one, and if you dont want stiff, dont go spec, the ONLY reason i can drive my car is because my leg probably weighs 50 pounds, but its stiff as hell, my brother WONT drive my car, and my dad doesnt like to

They aren't stiff... (compared to a new hydraulic clutch they are but that would be comparing apples to oranges). Some ebay ones are knock offs and can be stiff as they aren't a true KC. Some may buy them from ebay for cheap and they aren't getting the real thing. (just read some descriptions from ebay sellers as they describe what is really sold)

I like my spec too, but the pedal is a lil heavy. Only too heavy when stuck in traffic.
