so im putting in a new rear main seal and its more than time for a new clutch, so i figured id get one while the trans is out.
looking for opinions on clutches, yes its not a huge decision but im just curious what others opinions are. ive heard the king cobra is way too stiff.
consider that ill be making between 375-450hp by spring and would like to have a clutch that will be able to handle that.

I have the king cobra clutch in my car. The only down side is that when your at a light you have to take the car out of gear. I can only hold it in for about 10 sec until my leg starts to shake.

I have the King Cobra in my 94 and love it! I can't really complain about the stiffness either. Not sure on HP rating though.

For pedal and the power you'll make, consider a CF DF.

I had a king cobra in my 88 lx years ago and I loved it. I think you can take them up to 400 hp. Great clutch for the street. I drove mine daily and it was used in heavy traffic. I never tried a center force I hear they are good also. I have a McLeod dual fiction in my 87 and thats a nice clutch handles the hp and is ok on the street.
