Is the Ford king cobra clutch enough for a 306 with the trick flow top end kit(heads, cam, intake) if not what are some of the other clutchs that are good.

says on websites that sell them that they hold 40% more then oem ones that came in the car when they came out. do the math... 300 tq x .4 = 120. 300+120= 420
i just had one installed yesterday, im still breaking it in for now. i had the rear main seal changed and figured what the hell, ill get a new clutch installed to. the old one wasent bad yet, it was the a302. the same as the king cobra except the KC has 10% less effort on the clutch pedal. that clutch held my power no problem. I never did burn outs or launched on slicks. the pedal feels nice and light now to. hope this info helps

I had the King Cobra clutch with my h/c/i and it burned a bit when I would be at the track. I know have a Centerforce Stage II clutch and love it (softer pedal feel) but it has just a tad bit of clutch chatter if you let off the clutch pedal real slow...

How much did the centerforce run you?

I bought the 94/95 pressure plate (more clamping force than the fox equivalent) for I think $190 or so and the disc for $80 and their TOB for $35.

I drive the car everyday and I'm very picky on my car and I like this clutch if that tells you anything. It has a 60% more holding capacity over stock...
