I am VERY happy with my King Cobra clutch and I'm using my stock flywheel. Better for road racing than aluminum.

How much power are you making, or do you intend to make?

If you have less then 350rwhp, the king cobra is a very smooth clutch that will not break the bank.

I have a RAM HD and am happy with it.

Something to keep in mind though, you might want to buy a OEM TOB from ford because 90% of TOB's that come with clutch kits are garbage. The one that came with mine is already whining after just 2 months.


























TOB is throw out bearing.
