Question TURBO OWNERS:What clutch are you using???

I am wondering what seems to be the preferred choice when it comes to a new clutch. I need a new one and cannot decide.

I am going with either the ACT(Z65-HDR6) which can hold over 400ftlbs or the ACT(Z65-HD00) goos upto 330fts. I am not even close to 330ftlbs yet but hopefully soon. I have heard the 6 puck is not very streatable.

Anybody have any experiences with either of the two or any other suggestions?

The 6 puck u guys have is probably the sprung one. I have that one too w/ the HD PP. They make an unsprung 6 puck also, I've heard thats a really harsh clutch for normal driving.

Well I know mine is a 6 puck, but I'm pretty sure I remember there being springs on the hub. Maybe not oh well.

ACT 6-puck sprung clutch.
Some high clamp (with light pedal pressure) pressure plate that Shane at www.rotaryworks.com carries.
ACT lightweight flywheel.

It took almost 500 miles to break in. (Me and the clutch)
It's nice & gentle at low power.
Up the power & it CLAMPS.

I am leaning towards the 6 puck. I would rather have the better set up now so I dont have to worry about it down the road.
