Clutch replacement

Hey guys, So I think I am going to need to replace my clutch in the next 5,000 miles or so. Wondering what kit to go with for a already modded mini (mods below) and will have more power coming (injectors, cam, new tune, 17% pully) on top of what I have. Wondering what clutch to go with, what to stay away from. I will be racing it again in the summer and she isn't driven like a princess.

I had my replaced in #24 about a year ago but I don't remember when I put in, It was a single mass kit... but I don't recall brand name.

Motor on!

The Valeo conversion kit is a pretty popular one and have heard great things. 52151203 here. Otherwise, if you're wanting a bit more you can check out the South Bend Clutch Stage 1 heavy duty here.
