Just wondering which clutch kit would be better to go with as far as relabilty and quailty. Also if any other suggestions for a good clutch feel free to recomend thanck you. Not to worried about price on something like this either.

You have an 01 so check what transmission you have; t45 or t3650. I have a king cobra in my t45 now, i had it for about a year but i glazed it over last weekend at the track. I dunno what happend. I have a t3650 going in sometime around christmas when I can get a new clutch, probably going with spec 3.

I will say, do not get a spec 1. The spec 2's and up are good.... but the spec 1's suck.



I forgot to say the king cobra does not fit the t3650.

With your mods I think you'll be happy with the king cobra!

I have a spec 2, got it because I plan to supecharge in the future and wanted the increased torque capacity. I like it.

I was talking to one of my buddies about clutches the other day and he said to get the spce stage two clutch disk with the ford racing pressure plate. The stage II, appearantly, is quite tight and hard to use in a DD. He said this is what he did and it helped a lot. Just some food for thought.
