Default performance or not

STOCK 04 EDGE. FRONT TORSION HAVE BEEN TURNED GIVING 1.25" LIFT IN FRONT. OPENED UP THE STOCK AIR BOX WITH K&N REPLACEMENT FILTER.
107,500 MILES
I already purchased the stock OEM replacement, but wondering.
Should I go with a performance clutch?
I have 31's with stock gearing 3.73 and I often tow my baja bug, quad, wood and camping gear.
I do a little bit of duning with it (daily driver). I put it under a lot of pressure.
I do not dump the clutch for the hard launches, but i get the RPM's up from time to time
I need to replace the slave cylinder which is the reason for the dismantle.
flywheel looks great

In the next couple of months:
Exhaust
electric fan.
and the near future:
8.8 with 4.10 (from an explorer. possibly with a locker)
Long Travel

Any ideas???
Buler... Buler...

I would like to say thanks for all those who let me know what they felt and helping with the decision.
I finished the the install.
the clutch pedal feels a bit heavier than before. A good thing.
I replaced the clutch, pressure plate, release bearing and slave cylinder.
The flywheel looked great, but I did scuff it up a bit with some sand paper.
It was not very difficult, but time consuming and pricey.
I like to think of the money i saved by doing it all myself.

The salve cylinder failed which is why I started this project.
Its as good as new.

Hmm...dont know how I missed your post. Definitely going to want the 8.8 axle with the 4.10s if you are towing the buggy around.

What LT kit are you goingto go with?? Camburg 6.0?
