2005 Dodge Clutch Upgrade advice

I recently smoked the throwout bearing in my 2005 6spd Dodge with Cummins. While it is apart, I'd like to upgrade the clutch, but not break the bank. Some of these dual disk kits are about $1200+. How much horsepower can one run through a stock flywheel and upgraded single disk? Is this even smart? I will probably never exceed 450hp.

I am running a Southbend 13125-OK-HD. Came with a 13" flywheel, organic disk and matching pressure plate. I'm pretty sure your rig already has a 13" flywheel. I would suggest calling up Southbend and talking to Pete. You can go cheap on a clutch and get a cheap clutch, or you can spend a bit and never do it again.
I paid $800 delivered.
 
No, the stock clutch works fine, but has almost 250,000 miles on it. Since I haul 15,000#+ sometimes and will be cranking up the horsepower, I should upgrade while it is apart.
 
That clutch looks like a good fit and the price is right. I was also looking at a Valair NMU70279-06 for $699 too.
