dude, I know what you mean. I have an ACT Stage 2, and that sucker makes it feel like the engine is grabbing the wheels by the hair and bitch slapping them to 60 mph in no time. Gotta love it!

Slipping a puck clutch is very bad for it.

What kind of racing is a 6 puck more practical for? Any sort of racing, or just drag/etc? And how practical is it in a daily driven vehicle?

it is not practical in a daily driven car. a 6 puck can take the most abuse of any clutch it is mainly for drag racing but you could use it for any racing

Fred there's a company called "clutch Masters" they have 5 different stages for different applications. I have used stage 3 for many 2nd gen Rx7's. Stage 3 has a Kevlar disc and a beefed up pressure plate but since your asking about a little drag race and alot of road race maybe the Kevlar stage is not to good for U. The Kevlar stage is not aggresive like your copper, bronze, centre iron stages but the kevlar stage wont take the same abuse and heat all the other ones mentioned will take. give clutch masters a check @ the website www.clutchmasters.com and browse through the site...

What would you reccomend for a 2nd gen N/A for autox? There website says they only have OEM stock for just a normal 90 n/a...

I was thinking of just using the ACT street/strip package one...

i'm pretty sure the act s/s is a stock disk with upgraded pressure plate if your gonna be autox might want go with the race clutch 6 puck. now that i'm used to it took a day its very nice i can't imagine having the old stock clutch! grabs so much better!!!!
