Clutches?

A King Cobra clutch would be a excellent clutch in my opinion for your mods.
I had King Cobra and loved it...it had great pedal feel and slipped nicely for daily driving.
www.buyfordracing.com has the cheapest prices on the King Cobra that I have seen.
I have a buddy with a Ram clutch setup on his high 12 second car but it wasn't a very streetable car in my opinion...not because the clutch. I never pushed in or sat or drove it so I wouldn't know how it acted. I have heard good things and bad things about them.
Good Luck with your choice

Yeah the DF and Spec Stage 1 are totally different sets of clutches. The DF can hold much more power and is probably a bit less street friendly
I've very happy with my Centerforce Stage II right now...

My Centerforce Stage II is softer than my King Cobra I had...but the King Cobra didn't have clutch chatter at anytime like the CF can do every now and then at a low slipping rpm. The CFII holds more power though...but the King Cobra has a pretty light feel as well...a bit stiffer than stock.

No, it isn't noisy...clutch chatter is when you let the clutch out slowly at a low rpm (like from a street start) and the car shimmy's or shakes a bit because the clutch disc is trying to grab the flywheel and is skipping over it. It all comes down to the type of clutch disc material you have. I actually don't notice the clutch chatter anymore but that probably just has to do with the way I take off.
I would get a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch for that car. I have drove that clutch as well. It will hold your power for sure. It is a soft pedal. The King Cobra won't hold the power that your 347 will put out.
I see your from Arkansas...
I'm from central Arkansas.Good Luck!

Go with the clutch I have then. Its the softest clutch i've had in my car and will handle ton's more power and rpm than the other clutches. I've had a fms hd, a king cobra and now I run a mcleod dual friction disk with a promotion modified fms hd pressure plate. All my clutches have been great but this ones the best due to the power and rpm it will hold. Its a tad softer than a stock king cobra clutch. My girlfriend can push it down with no problems
You can get it for $289 from www.nitrostangracing.com It doesn't chatter or hit hard like other clutches can. Heres a pic of the clutch-

Agreed. If you want a more heavy duty clutch and don't want to give up that decent pedal feel then check out the McLeods. They're a bit $$ but worth it. If you are looking for something in the $200 range then I agree the KC is the way to go.

For a mild car my favorite is actually the FMS heavy duty. It has a great feel to it. I have a Center Force myself and I hate it. It feels heavy. I'm going to get spec or McLeod next time around. I have heard good things about the Kevlar lined McLeod units from a lot of folks.
