Street/Strip clutch...what do you run?

I am looking into upgrading my clutch because the stocker is slipping with the power im making now. I was wondering what you guys run? I use it as my daily driver so i dont want anything too crazy but i want it to be good enough to hold some decent power...im thinking of an ACT 6 puck...but what do you guys run every day?

if you're running a DD, just get an upgraded pressure plate and use an organic factory solid disk, or an upgraded solid disk

a puck type clutch (even though I run one on my - semi - DD 87 TII) wil EAT your flywheel, make stoplights into swearlights and make it very difficult to drive the car with any "soft-hearted" passengers

but going with an upgraded pressure plate and a solid disk will make it easier to manage along with giving you slightly increased holding capactiy

well the clutch was brand new as of June of 2005, but has been beaten on a lot since then...when i swapped my J-Spec in i swapped the clutch over and it has plenty of meat left...should have swapped the pressure plate when i was doing that i guess....

I prefer a sprung loaded disc, I had the sold puck and felt it was to ubrupt for street driving. I have also had great luck with the RB pressure plate. But that's me. Everyone is different.
