If you're not asking a lot out of your clutch, i'd say go for a king cobra... If you want one to support horsepower, i'd say looking for something stiffer that will hold....

are you going to mod the motor? King Cobra would work for you with your mods for a long time

thanks everyone i just ordered the king cobra clutch kit. anything more than that i think would be overkill. thank you all for your help. the car is still on the original clutch and it's pretty rough so i'm hoping this will make it a lot better. i hope this one lasts another 17 years!

i hope so too. some of friends had the king cobra clutch and they didn't last very long at all. for instance one is saving to buy another clutch for his 91 he only had the clutch 3 1/2 months

i wish my king cobra lasted 3 1/2 months, mine died in 3000 miles and my LMC CF lasted 15000 (b4 the car got wrecked) and since the motor is out i pulled the clutch out to inspect it and it looks like ithas a few hundred miles

well his was just a weekend car so i am sure u get the idea. greenstreak i think it just depends on the clutch. my stock was harder to push in then my centerforce clutch. i would recommend the centerforce since i have peronally used it. however i can assure you i plan on buying it agani when i go to put a clutch in the notch if that gives you any idea about it

yea i kno the spec 5 would be overkill and stuff like that. i was just askin if there was any variables other than drivability like pedal pressure and engagement (obviously important if its on the street) and cost.
