Which clutch to buy?

I gotta put a new clutch in my 'Lane, she makes 350 flywheel horsepower thru a t-5 to a 3.55 Auborn posi. 8 inch and I'm wondering if the King Cobra clutch kit from Ford Racing is a good piece for street /Light strip action or should I go to Competition Clutch setup any feedback on these peices would be helpful.
Thanks Geo.

I have a mustang whick is a little lighter, but the same power and trans. I also have 3.80 gears with a posi. I have the king cobra clutch and it works great, and it has taken lots of punishment too. Just the other day I had em spinning through third gear. As long as your car is not over 4000 pounds I think you should be ok.

The car weighs 3300 lbs. with me in it so for the price I don't think beat this clutch (pun intended)

I use king cobra clutches. They grab and hold very tight and last a long time. The pedal is a little more stiff than stock but not much. 2 thumbs up.

Nice units never heard any issues with them. Alot cheaper the centerforce. Which centerforec is just a LUK plate painted with weights. lol Even a standard LUK will hold up we ran them up to 400 hp with many 1/4 mile drags.
