i'm planning on getting a new clutch soon and i've been trying to decide between getting the stock clutch or the king cobra clutch. could anyone help me understand what would be beneficial by going with the "king cobra clutch"?

any advice would be appreciated! thanks!

Difference: better grab, stands up to mods a lil better.

Personal experience, I installed one in my car in Feb. of this year and have been thrilled with it's performance. Just my .02

I used one when I did my t-5 swap. I'm very pleased with the feel and effort. I would recommend it.

If wanting performance-based feedback as to which you'll want, you'll probably want to list your mods.

Depends on your power level....isn't worth a damn if your making big number power. But if your debating between stock and king cobra, I'd with the king cobra clutch. It won't be overkill (it's a "sprung" clutch so it isn't anything crazy) and it leaves room for future mods

thanks everyone for your feedback! it was very helpful. i don't have any mods on my car...straight stock. just wanting to add a little more performance to my car little by little. if there's anything else you guys think i can do that's not too expensive that's worth adding let me know.

thanks again! really appreciate it!

If you're really looking to stay relatively stock, I saw a deal on Latemodel Restoration today...

Mustang - 86-95 Oe Clutch Replacement Kit, 5.0L at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

That'd give you everything you need to get a well running clutch system for your ride!

Buy a new flywheel why you got it apart. My preference is Ford Racing.
Might want to put a steel bearing retainer on the trans while it's out too.

I'm happy with mine, but I'd pass. For like $10 more you can have a Centerforce Dual Friction with a nice soft pedal and a higher power holding capacity. The King Cobra isn't as cheap as it used to be.

third car - third KC clutch. Works great. Holds my horsepower quite nicely, and helped grenade my T-5!

I picked up a new in the box KC clutch (Ford Racing sealed box) off of Ebay for 120 shipped!
