Default King cobra clutch?

While I have the trans out getting rebuilt again(the shop already rebuilt it and it broke again, its still under warrenty), im going to replace the stock clutch, that has been going out, slipping, and smelling etc. So my question is will the King cobra be a good clutch for a daily driver, weekend worrier car. I heard they have chattering issues and they arent that great. I have 200 for a clutch So im money limited. Will the KC clutch hold up to my mods and some track use on slicks? Or are there better clutch out there for the money...I also dont care about the pedal being stiff, I have strong legs. LOL. Im lookig around for a clutches so, Help would be appreciated on what clutch to get.

There is a brand called center something that offers a way better clutch.

centerforce has the weights on it and can make for bad vibrations

the king cobra clutch can hold about 50 percent more power, and the pedal is pretty light, i just put one in my car, its a pretty decent clutch.

The king cobra should be fine. I have a Ford racing heavy duty clutch, its pretty close to the same it was installed just before i bought it about 8 months ago and for my mods, DD and track use it holds up great and the pedal isn't that bad, only thing is i havent used it on slicks yet, but i say go for the king cobra.

The owner put a King Cobra clutch in my car just before I bought it stock about 15,000 miles ago. It has been a great clutch, I recommend it to anyone, although some have bad things to say about them, and I hear those Spec clutches are great too..

I have a king cobra clutch i got from www.mustangtunging.com for $169.99 with free shipping i like the clutch ive had it in my mustang 92 GT for about a month with no grinding no slipping and no vibrating it seems to be the best cluch for under 200 bucks. My buddy has one in his 91 GT and he loves it too but everyone tells me to get a new quadrant and adjustable cable kit cause the quad stock is made out of plastic and its something i look back and wish i should have swaped out also.....
