Default 65 gto best performance clutch?

just did a lot of work to a customers gto and it turns out the stock clutch didnt like the output of the tri-power 389 when launched from a red light. pretty sure its just the clutch that blew apart but i will see when i pull the trans out. what im wondering is what is the right clutch for him, there are alot of options. i want a clutch that operates smoothly but can handle the power and abuse. any suggestions from experience?

I've been running the same McCleod single disc set-up in my tripower 389 '65 GTO since 1984. Have about 50,ooo miles on it, and it's still fine. Heavy pedal effort, but smooth and flawless performance. It's a 3400LB pressure plate, if I remember correctly.
