My King Cobra is not getting it done with my 11 sec. 351 car. Summit has a very limited selection of clutches so I'll need recs on where to buy as well as what to buy. This should be a street strip clutch with an emphasis on strip. Thanks in advance. (10. 5, 1 1/16, 10 spline)

88-GT - The King Cobra will be a nice addition to your stang. It will handle what power you have easily. I have had it...it is a nice daily driver clutch

stock50lx - I would get a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch personally...

stage 3 is a pain on street as it has almost no slip to it...its real "on" or "off" but once you get used to it, its not so bad...but it dose deter me from driving it more, which is why i might change it..

I have a Stage 1, it bites really hard and I never had a problem with it. I replaced my Centerforce DF with it. I know people with the Stage 3 and no complaints across the board.
