I went thru this a few weeks ago while swapping my 4+3 to a ZF6- I went with a GM LT4 clutch set....granted I am no where near the HP you have (I have an 84 Vette) but they seem to be very good clutches...
Hope this helps!

115K on a clutch? There's no way it has much left in it.
Clutches are cheap compared to the cost/time investment of installing them.
If a factory replacement is adequate, you can buy a OEM replacement Borg/Beck clutch set at Autozone with a lifetime warrantee. It also comes with a steel T/O bearing, not plastic. Not sure what it'll cost for your '90, but mine was to the tune of $189. And the clerk said I can replace it free for ANY reason... "if I burn it to pieces, if I get a hair up my butt, whatever." --her exact words. :lol:
