Default What clutch should i get (need help)!!!

So here is my problem....i have a 90 mustang that im pretty much rebuilding. The engine is being rebuilt with speed pro pistons (im not sure on the specs but i know that the engine has to be bored 30 over), ford racing rockers arms, and a ford racing cam (M-6250-B303, http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku). Also the heads are going to be ported and polished. i was looking online for cluthes and i cam accross this Zoom F3-48 Clutch (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku), is this a good cluch for my application??? Also i need for it to be soft enough for my wife to drive, i know that stock clutches are sometimes verrrrry hard to push in, would this clutch solve my problem (i dont know that much about clutches)?

Pretty much any clutch that can handle your setup is not going to be stock. I would stay away from the link you suggested and maybe go with a king cobra, or spec. I have a king cobra and its stockish, just a little harder. But it can definately handle some power...
