king cobra has always been a good clutch, the ram heavy duty is worth a look. I'm not sure what your mods are or how hard you are on the clutch but a the ford heavy duty pretty much can handle the stock T5 hp levels also.

I have a b303 cam which id like to get one with more power actually if you have a cam recommendation. I have headers bbk intake and an exhaust no cats. Also whats some good mods for good hp gains? I like the king cobra but i saw a ford racing clutch for cheaper how are those?

The ford heavy duty clutch is okay for stock or very mild applications and the stock T5, keep in mind the cheap price you see lots of times for the ford clutches don't have the throwout bearing. american muscle has the king cobra iirc.

The B is an okay cam, it's on the mild side. I would wait to switch it out until you are firm on a head selection and what hp goals you are looking for. If you are just looking for a nice street motor with around 300rwhp that is very easy to do, so when it is time I can come up a whole bunch of combos that will work in that range no problem at all.

what rear gears you running?

The Ford Heavy duty clutch held up fine in my old 89 Fox with full bolt on's(heads, intake, exhaust, gears ect). Made a little over 300 at the tire on the stock cam. I also learned how to drive standard on that clutch so it didn't have an easy life lol.
