We offer our own Kevlar clutch which "I" think is second to none. Grabs like crazy and can handle over 700RWHP easy! We have sold 100's of these clutches and have not had 1 person complain about them. Give us a call if you want more information about the clutch.

Our clutch has very little to no chatter. Chatter has never been an issue with most of the our clutches. Another reason our clutch is superior is we use a custom throw out bearing which is all metal.

I love my King Cobra.
I would highly recommend it!

Also, get an aftermarket quadrant and firewall adjuster.

Give us a call... we also have a custom version of the King Cobra we can sell you or install for you also. Just give Mario or Chris a call and they'll take care of you.

I got mine off ebay brand new in box for $110 Had it installed at clutchmart for $125 this was about 2 years ago though...I don't know how much prices have changed. I like my king cobra for the small hp my car puts out it works just fine. [patriot]

ford dealership, or ebay.

I don't think you need a clutch that can handle 700hp in a stock mustang... and summit doesn't sell king cobra's anymore? wtf!

I'd just get the cobra clutch, it'll do you swell.

I've been running full Kevlar clutch disks with the Motorsport HD Pressure plates for years. In fact, B&A Friction in San Jose makes up all my disks for me. I've run them behind high HP 351W's, 351C's, 302's and currntly behind both my 331's. I've never had a chatter issue. They hook up great in auto crossing and road racing.
For what it's worth........................

Ive had two cars with Centerforce clutches and i never had a problem with either of them.
I just say to stay away from RAM, never heard one good thing.
