350 hp clutch recommendations?

I'm thinking about replacing my clutch. I've got a ACT 6puck and it's very grabby.
It's a daily driver, with a lightened flywheel.

I'm going back to the stock flywheel/counterweight also to make it more driveable(if anyone has for sale lmk).

But does anyoone have any recommendations for a clutch that'll hold 350hp and is not as grabby/is easier to drive in traffic?

The ACT XTSS (rated for 440 lb-ft) series is doing well in my car. BNR Stage 3, FMIC, Mild Street Port 750/1000cc on a Haltech. Had the standard Exedy and it couldnt handle it but with the ACT its doing more than fine. The pedal feel is the same as the Exedy and has a nice gradual grab.

Can you add a bit more useful info like ....what stage clutch that bully was , driveability....like how stiff clutch pedal/engagement was to say a stock car or comparative clutch (if you have experience with other performance clutches)and length of time you call holding up.

It was a Stage 3 I believe..the Higher HP rated one..(I'm not into TII's anymore,so it's been a while)
The Clutch felt great,nice like stock and the engagement was real easy to drive off a stoplight situation.
It didn't kick up on you and set the car in motion nice and smoothly.
The Engine did a Couple Dyno runs and a 400 KM drive home and about 3000 more KM's then the whole setup was parted out.

I would just change the disc to the ACT performance street disc. I am running it, along with their heavy duty clutch, and RB 9lbs flywheel. I've been running the 9lbs for decades, so I am used to it, but the clutch combo, other than a stiffer pedal (than stock), the grab is fairly stock(ish).

I took your advice. Workes/feels just as you said. Now I need to replace my clutch master/slave cylinders-funny how when you replace one component, sometimes they all go.

Awesome glad you like it. And yea especially on these old cars the compound repairs add up quick.
