My bro has a king cobra... Not impressed.. Spend the extra money it didn't last very long with 300rwhp either.. Just replaced it with centerforce
great choice!! dont skimp on bearings buy a FRPP throw out bearing FRPP roller pilot bearing well worth the extra cash ive had a CF DF in my car for almost 2 years and i havent had to make one adj yet. Soft pedal and holds my almost 400rwhp, i bought the upgraded one has a little more holding force at racemart its the same price 370 as the lesser model sold at summit jegs etc

Let us know how you like it. I got mine because my transmission builder advised me that ones that hit hard are what breaks T5's. He suggested that a King Cobra works well and has just enough slip when it hits to save the trans, especially with slicks or drag radials. I will tell you that with the new bearing retainer and fork etc, it pushes easier than a Honda.
The CF doesn't hit hard.
It is very soft.
The trick to the holding power of the CF is the counterweights.
It eases into operation, then as the rpms rise, the clamping force rises.
It would seem to me to be the perfect clutch for a marginal tranny.
