If you want the king cobra clutch, go to summit racing. But I would get the ford racing HD clutch instead. The only difference is the cobra requires 10% less pedal effort. It is like $30 bucks more than the ford HD clutch kit.

I'm in the process of looking for a new clutch for the new t-5 im putting in, but this is the first clutch i've bouht and i haven't heard of king cobra. How does this clutch compare with a centerforce? I know the centerforce is more, but is it worth it?

I have the Centerforce II pressure plate/clutch and i love it. It's very easy to push in (not any tougher than stock, and i have bad knees so I can definately tell) and it has 60% more clamping force than stock. It was around $200 i think from Summit racing. I buy everything from them because it's delivered quickly and packaged very well. I can't tell you much about the ford clutches/pressure plates, but the centerforce works awesome.
Good luck,

Well i ended up getting the king cobra. I looked into centerforce dual frictions and i don't really need that much clutch yet. And the king cobra was a lot less money.

I went with the King Cobra also...from summitracing.com. The bellhousing is the only 'big' thing left before my AOD to T5 conversion begins! <maniacal cackling...>
