a standard clutch will probably be ok at that power level to be honest

failing that a AP organic one is fine

make sure you get the flywheel skimmed before fitting a new clutch

you'll be surprised what a standard GENUINE ford clutch can cope with - i've seen plenty of s2's with more tq than yours on a standard clutch

if you dont get your flywheel skimmed over; your clutch will not last as long as it should. you skim the flywheel to level out the surface and give it a clean clamping area for the new clutch to grab onto/ bed in.

edit to say: i've seen plenty of people complain about clutch judder after fitting a new clutch becuase the didnt skim the fly, its common practice

true you skim it to give a clean level surface also after wear the area that the friction plate grips to wears down but the area that the clutch cover bolts to does not leaving a bigger gap between fly wheel and clutch cover so cluct life is reduced. So you skim area that cover is bolted to down as well giving correct clearnce as new spec would be.
