centerforce Dual friction

Pressure plate+Clutch for about 300, and like 40 for the pilot and T/O bearings seperately, great clutch

depends on what is done to the mustang you have but a stage 3 is way more than you'll ever need and not practical on a street car for longevity and the increased pedal pressure put a strain on the thrust bearing so keep that in mind

I use a Centerforce dual friction behind 550'ish hp. Two seasons of road racing and street cruising, and it's still in good shape. The Cobra is considerably lighter than a Mustang, though.
Easy to drive on the street, too. The pedal is a little stiffer than my V6 Mustang, but not much.

I plan on overhauling the engine this winter, and I'll put in another Centerforce clutch.
