Default Time for clutch upgrade

Clutch just blew out on the truck ( 2000 five speed) and i'm wondering whether it is worthwhile to upgrade to a dual disc, south bend, because i plan to have 400 plus hp in the future and drag race it, or would this be over clutching a stock truck?
Thanks
Mack

Luke, this gentleman specifically ask for a South Bend. Please refrain from these business tactics. Thanks

I didn't realize this was the south bend section.
