The std clutch seems to be able to cope with 220HP/220ftlbs easily enough.

The AP Racing 9 1/2" unit is popular and works well on even the biggest
normally aspirated engines.  The McLeod 10 1/2" unit also works very well,
but it can be a bugger to install as it requires more movement of the release
bearing to disengage it fully than a std clutch.  This means a linkage in 
perfect order or a bigger master cylinder than std.
