Default 98 Cobra Clutch ..

It's that time again... Clutch. Replacement.

I have some questions concerning the options that are available to me, for replacing the clutch in my 1998 Mustang Cobra... I think the car is running about 375-390hp.

I have been told by a reputable ford dealership (performance parts shop) that I could do a '99 or '03 clutch conversion, and that all parts for those respective year model clutches would bolt onto the '98 cobra without any problem. I'll also need to go from the 10.5" flywheel to a 11" flywheel, as both the '99 and '03 clutches are 11" instead of the '98's 10.5".

I have also been looking at going with the King Cobra clutch, and just sticking with the stock '98 flywheel..

Any other '96 - '98 cobra owners got a recommendation?

No, the car is N/A.. as far as I know, it has Flow Master 2 Chamber Exhaust, No cats, off-road h-pipe, performance tuned chip, 3.73 gears, 24lb fuel injectors, mass air flow meter, high flow fuel pump, k&n filter and a few other bits and pieces. The car may have some internal work done to the engine, as it was owned by one person previously. I picked the car up from a Dealer almost 3 years ago, and it already had all of the modifications I've listed here. car are only 34k miles when I bough it and I just rolled 80k in it about a month ago.

Just do a spec clutch for your car... Simple.. Not even a stage 3, if you don't plan on supercharging it...
