Question picking the right clutch

well, im in the market for a new clutch, the one ive got has had enough. i got the truck about 2 yrs ago and it didnt slip at all. after i put a Edge Evo with around 200 ft tq/ 100 hp into my 2000 drw F350, it started to slip when i would pin it in 5th gear at a low speed. Then, after i put some 36" tires, it began to slip a little more.

But, what i have is a 2000 DRW with 36" tires, stock gearing, and a DP tuner with a 140 tune in the very near future. im looking for a clutch that can handle the power, fair price, and can be installed by a backyard mechanic. ive seen alot of the name South Bend and Centerforce but dont know anyone who has them, any and all knowledge would be greatfull!!

Thanks for looking!!

My vote is Valair Clutches. I've heard very good things about them.

This is the one my local Napa store sell. When my stock clutch goes it is what is going in my truck.
