Default Clutch going out, what to replace with?

Ok, just got my 92 mustang 5.0, took it out and tested it the other day at the races. Fared quite well, but now i think my clutch is going out. The friction point only engauges when the pedal is almost fully released, and the cluth push is much harder now as well. So first, is that my clutch going out. If not, what could it be. If so, what type of clutch would be suggested. I have a lot of bolt on applications already in place, so i would probably like to go with a higher end clutch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I did the king cobra clutch its awesome, but its stiffer then most.. Make sure if you replace your clutch, to: resurface the fly wheel, replace the pilot bearing, steal bearing retainer, and if needed the rear main seal aswell..
Just to be on the safe side..

Stormin Normin hood, its nice keeps all the heat out of the engine compartment.. But if you have chrome in your engine compartment it will stay clean for about a mile, and its dirty again, especially when it rains!!!
