Default Ram Clutch vs King Cobra Clutch

Alright well my Crate Engine is all ready and painted in rosey red sitting on the engine stand. Got a T-5 brand new waiting for me to buy and now i am going to get a new clutch kit. Had the flywheel cut and lookin shiny. Now I just have to choose from 2 clutches.

King Cobra Clutch $155.00 + $20 shipping

Ram Clutch $169.95 Free Shipping

Just want to know with the mods that I have which would be the better of the two. Also if anyone knows what are some of the key things that I should know for breaking it in or things that I should watch out for. Thanks!!!!!!

it will boil down to preference, first what type of clutch feel do you
like? if you like a stiff pedal go with the motorsport,if you like a
softer clutch feel go with the ram. in my opinion they are pretty
much the same clutch except for the feel. it's your call
i like the ram clutch myself...
