I am using it and love it.

Daily driver and regular trips to the dragstrip.

Its like a rock, get the Ford Motorsports one, its a lil cheaper and easier on the foot!

i have it and also love it. just dont bother machining the flywheel, get a new one, its only 100 bucks and you wont ever have to worry about tearing it apart again because the old one is hotspotted. also about the "rock" thing, it is harder to push so you should really get an aluminum quadrant and adj. cable. I like it when its hard to push, and its not really that hard anyway Craig

I had it, Just had to replace it. It was a good clutch. It was pretty stiff I didn't mind it until I stated to do a lot city driving. I have 3.73's and a 2.95 first gear I had to shift all the time. It really get's annoying in bumper to bumper LA freeway traffic.

I recommend either centerforce or Spec. They seem to hold up better to the abuse.

King cobra clutch is a damn good clutch!! It will last a long time. I should know because I abused the hell out of mine and it is still good after 2 years and 50k miles

I love mine

It was in the car when I bought it a year and a half ago (clutch had just been installed).
But I have a small slip problem now when the rpm's hit 2000, There is an oil leak of the back of the intake and I think it leaked into the bell housing! I hope it didn't ruin it.

I just read somewhere that the clutch pedal itself can "drop" to a position that makes it feel stiff - hence it could be why my King Cobra clutch feels heavy, even with the Steeda super smooth cable.

Has anyone heard of this? I'm gonna look into adjusting mine this weekend.
