What kind of torque do you think it will hold up to.

My impression is that it will hold more torque than the TII tranny can.

I'm using a sprung 6-puck, but I'm not fully tuned yet either. Waiting for Sean to get me a smaller turbine housing. I'll let you know how it holds up.

A Twin-plate is close to the top of the list of things to get.

Mine held for the break in mileage and a few fun tire-spinning accelerations, but not much longer after that.

The ACT catalog lists the torque ratings of their products. Keep in mind that the pressure plate also affects torque holding capacity.

I had the ACT 6-puck in the RXX-7 for about 60,000 miles with no trouble. When I had to rebuild the motor, I replaced the clutch, but it wasn't really worn out. I would guesstimate that it would have lasted another 20K to 30K miles. It's supposed to hold up to 550 lb./ft. of torque. I was putting out around 425 at the rear wheels.

Before you ask, I don't remember the model number. I just called SR Motorsports and asked Ray for whatever he was using in his (at that time) 920-hp, 20B drag car. He's the one who provided the 550 number.

I am currently using the ACT 6 puck un-sprung... and i like it. It grabs hard, and the pressure plate is supposed to hold up to 514 ft-lbs of torque.

Im going single turbo though, and some people are telling me to upgrade...

Unless i make more than 500 (wont happin) , im stickin with it.

Sounds like I'll be destroying that 6 puck in short order then.

what do you guys think about the guru clutch and flywheel? any one use it?

or am I better off going with one of those twin disk units?

BTW, this is going to be more of a race car that I take out on the street every once in a while. definitely not a DD
