I have a new King Cobra from Ford Racing on my 99 4v. Every time i open the car up over 100mph it starts to burn alot. Does anyone have any problems like this on there King Cobra? This is my 3rd K.C. and they always seem to do that to me.

I been wanting to put a Dual Center Force on my car but i'm afriad it will blow my T-45 w/ almost 100,000 on it.

I was thinking about spending the money and gettin a Mcload. I heard center force isn't bad. The longest lasting K.C. has been 5 1/2 months.

Well a K.C. has a lot of slip and so does the stock. You can shave off tenths off the 1/4 mile just by putting a better clutch in. A better clutch won't slip it will just grab and when it grabs your trans might blow.

It like slicks if you put slick on you'll blow the rear end. Basicaly my clutch is lon a street tire and a Spec would be a slick.
