Best Clutch Setup After Auto to Manual Swap on a Turbo Car

I will be swapping trans with a friend by Christmas and I am planning on upgrading the clutch and flywheel while the car is in the shop. I'm new to the manual world so any advice on which clutch and flywheel setup that would be ideal will be appreciated. I want a clutch that can handle big power but will have the pedal ease that is close to stock. Thanks in advance for all answers.

What exactly is "big power"? 500hp? 700? Just remember the bigger the clutch, the heavier its going to be. It also depends on what type of setup you go with.

I've heard nothing but good about mcleod....they are pricey but for the power their hold people claim they have a near stock pedal feel and I've always had great luck with them in previous mustangs. I've read many mixed opinions on spec stage 3+, exedy, ram, and not so many good things on centerforce as i've witnessed bad experience on older mustangs as well.

I want one that will hold about 600. Gives me some room to grow.
