I have the older style Ford Motorsports clutch # A-302. It went in just like a stocker, the pedal effort is noticably higher but required nothing more than a new stock cable. The King cobra version is supposed to be easier on the effort with about the same holding power. Since the Auto Zone clutch kit is $125 and the low end Ram versions are about $150 I went with the Ford version. I should have waited to get it from Summit as I paid $180 from Fortes since they are 10 min from my house and I didnt get a throwout bearing with it. I did get the FMS new flywheel for $110 a real no brainer since my flywheel had already been cut and had heat crazing on the surface, just bolt the new one on! Since I was quoted $50-$60 for resurfacing the flywheel, and I plan to drive the wheels off this car, go with the good stuff.

All the really good clutches go for $250+ and require a adjustable clutch quadrant etc
