I've used the King Cobra and loved it, never used the RAM so can't really comment on that one.

Whats your current Set up prime time?

Basically im looking for a clutch that won't break the bank, and won't suck

RAM i have heard about, but only heard.. i want somones first hand experience...

KC i always hear good things... but its a bit more expensive and if hte RAM works as good or better... why spend more money?

I ran a kc clucth and just replaced it with a ram powergrip, the biggest mistake people make when selecting a clutch package is they buy a clutch that grab to hard and they blow there trans a month later if you dont have a 1000hp car dont buy a clutch designed for that much power. my car dyno'd at 426 407 and the power grip was a perfect fit for me, I personnaly like the powergrip better than the kc the power grip seams to hold the torque better pedal on the powergrip is about the same as the king cobra no matter what clutch you get do yourself a favor and buy a firewall adjuster for the cable its a nice piece
