Default King Cobra

How will this clutch hold up in a 350 rwhp fox body? (Personal experience only)

stock motor + 3000 miles of me abusing the clutch = badlly slipping king cobra

i have heard nothing but bad things about the king cobra clutch. i would actaully check out the centerforce dual friction clutch. i worked awesome even with me getting on it hard at times

I know a few people that have them with no troubles at all! I do road racing and auto crossing also. Guess it just depends on how you use the clutch!

I've put about 5,000 on mine and no problems yet. Notice I said it's 'not bad'. There is definately better out there.

I bought my car , stock engine, with a brand new King Cobra in it, its not bad, im redoing the engine and everything else, but can't afford a transmission till next summer, so i'm hoping this clutch will last the summer, maybe maybe not, but it's not to bad so far.
