Default New clutch for 5.0

So, I'm lookin for a new clutch since mine is wearing out on me, I was wondering what's a good clutch for a stock clutch assembly. Or could I get a stage one that isn't too stiff for my stock clutch cable. Any ideas?

Do you have any modifications? Or plan to modify?

I do have some. I think I mentioned those in the last reply about my flywheel.
Nothing too serious... CAI, spacers, flows, 273 gears. underdrive pulley. that's about it. And I'm not lookin to upgrade it all that much since it's a conv.

I installed a FMS unit in my 84 this spring. Seemed a little "grabby" at first but is fine now. I'd also suggest replacing the cable and quadrant while your in there.

IMO you can't go wrong with a King Cobra Clutch for stock to bolt on modded Fox's.. Good performance and good feel. Will handle power up to any bolt on you put on..
