517whp/416tq, clutch shopping
Burnt up my full face act clutch shortly after getting this car to hit 500s. Haven't even got to run it down the quarter yet. My friend can get act clutches for cheaper than retail so what clutch do you guys recommend? Xtg6?

416tq is a nice number, but nothing ridiculous. A usual 6-puck will keep it for a while. If you like to be on the "right" side, I would recommend you an OS-Giken twin plate like TS2B or even better the TS2C.

Ram sintered iron disk and ACT Extreme pressure plate. 600 whp, launch at 8500 with ~8-10 psi boost. No issues. The ACT puck disk worked just as well but we needed to change clutches when the G-Force box went in.
If I had to start all over, I'd probably look at McLeod's Drag Mag twin disk package.

We have found multi disk clutches hold up to higher power for much longer. Nearly all of our customers making over 500whp are using the Exedy Twin disk. It is far more durable and the pedal pressure isn't anywhere near that of the ACT XT, which puts a lot less strain on the clutch fork and the hydraulics system (and left leg)
As a side note we do install the ACT monolok wedge collar in the Exedy pressure plate.

Yes.
I have single sprung 6 puck/act extreme pp in my FC and Exedy twin sprung 6 puck in the FD.
I much much prefer the lighter pedal/broader engagement point of the Exedy twin plate. It is truly no problem in traffic.
Do your research when deciding on disk material. I can't see Carbon working for daily or drag. It is perfect for a real circuit car though.
Also, get the clutch you can get the parts for overnight.

I ended up ordering xtg6. Was going r6 but the sales guy convinced me the sprung will be easier on the transmission. Found some 26x11.5 et street tires used for sale locally for 200 but I heard the 10.5 will be better for my power range. So might be ordering two new 10.5s this week with tilton clutch flow valve
