Default Which clutch?

I've got a 95" build with heads and a cam. 105 ft/lbs torque. I'm still running the original stock clutch, but I'm taking a trip through the Rockies in May and I'm thinking it would be good to replace it before the trip. I've done all my own work but never a clutch. What's a good recommendation?

I have a 2004 RK. went to a 107 and when I did that I bought this AM007-480. Its a 480 Lb. clutch diaphragm Spring from AIM. Didn't change anything else and it worked perfect. I then went to a 110 and still run the same set-up, no problems at all. So it maybe a little over kill at 480 lbs but it does the trick and it was only $50.

I went with the Barnett extra plate Kevlar with heavy spring, it grabs really good and smooth.

I don't find a problem at all pulling it. Seems to be fine, hand does not get tired.
