Get the street strip pressure plate. Anything stronger will go through masters and slaves at an alarming rate. That's what I heard anyway. I went with a street strip pressure plate and had to rebuild the master and slave. Once so far.

The pedal effort is also something to consider. I don't want it to be any stiffer than street strip. That's my personal preference.

Unless you're drag racing, the street/strip disc works well. If you're doing frequent drag launches and daily driving, try the 6 puck disc with springs. If you don't mind the extra pedal effort, race pressure plate and new, not rebuilt, clutch master, slave and hose.

If it wouldn't be ok, then Billy wouldn't sell it to you. Plain as that. There is a reason that so many of us have come to trust his advice and wisdom.
