What are your specs? If I never got a ACT, I would have gone with Bully Clutch? Found here www.bullyclutch.com Although, I am quite happy with my setup.

I don't make Vosko's power but my Centerforce has held up pretty well so far.

multiple plate clutches create holding power with more discs rather than raw clamping pressure.

you get huge holding power and smooth engagement.

but you get a 1500-2000 price tag.

Okay,

will they hold up to 500RWHP abuse?

is this a better option then an ACT performance clutch for street use?

Or can an ACT clutch do pretty much the same thing for less?

they use 4 plate ATS carbon/carbon clutchs on indy cars well some older ones, or was it f1? i forget
and a lot of big hp skylines use them too
ont ATS carbon/carbon clutchs, but normal multi plate clutchs. Theres a difference between that carbon/carbon and other materials, im not exactly sure, but here carbon//carbon is more expensive but better

I have a 6 puck stage 3 Kevlar and Ceramic unsprung ACT disc with the HD ACT pressure plate. With 440rwhp. The first week was very grabby and now I have learned to drive it just like the Street/Strip sprung clutch. I am sure it will hold up for you. I also plan to turn up the boost more and get up near 500hp. I have no worries about my clutch. You can always get a higher end unit. Vosko has some kind of Special ACT Clutch. Its not available on thier list of clutches but can be made by request.
