Default Clutch and Pilot Bearing questions

Sooo I am still on the trans project(haven't had time to get around to it) and have ended up having to pull the clutch to swap the pilot bearing because the jackass that owned the car before had a 4cyl trans in it. So thats why I haven't been able to get the trans in.

So while I am doing that I am going to go ahead and swap the clutch out.

What is the best clutch for a stock 5.0? I know quite a few of you guys have run different ones so what do you think is the best for a DD with maybe a little track time down the road?

if it'll be a 90 percent street car.. I run a NAPA HD clutch in my 92 and it sees the track here and there and it has held up good......King Cobra is a choice and speg stage 1 is a decent one too
