need new clutch-will ford's hold up with tuner?

Hey, my truck has 198,000 miles, just had the clutch replaced by a local shop who used their local parts supplier (napa i think), and have started getting clutch slip AGAIN. They said they want to replace it with Ford original parts to solve the problem. I am runner a hypertech stage 2 tuner and am pulling most of the time. I ran the tuner on the last clutch for about 40,000 mile (since I bought the truck) and wonder what I can expect with a new ford clutch if it will hold up to the extra power. I want a clutch with a good reputation and warrenty and if you have recommendation, please list. Thanks in advance!

I run a South Bend Clutch and I'm very satisfied with it.

I don't have a manual myself, but everything I have read most go with south bend clutch like was mentioned. They are made for a little more abuse without slipping. I live about 3 miles from there shop were they are made.
