ACT 6 puck or 4 puck. Dont forget a HD PP and ss clutch hose.

An ACT street/strip disc clutch should be fine. Remember, its more the torque numbers than HP, and a ~350RWHP rotary probably wont be pushing quite 300ft/lbs. This is the clutch setup I have for my FC, although havent put together yet.

Might want to get the 6-puck just to be safe, or in case you up the power down the road. I have the ACT 6-puck, and I have no problems with it. Street driving is fine.

the 6 puck has to be tougher on your drivetrain and all it's components. I have the act street/strip clutch and it's held up through countless burnouts and drag launches. I am probably putting down about 275ish rwhp though. I don't think you'll make it to 350rwhp with that turbo, probably 320-330.

The drivetrain in my car has seen rev limiter launches on slicks (not me driving btw) and plenty of street tire launches, and it is just fine.

I had a S/S and it slipped @ 410 whp. Not too bad unless you hammer a launch in which case it would smoke big time. You may be ok with 350whp but if you don't wanna chance having to replace it in 2-3 months maybe the 6 puck would be better.

Yeah their not bad for daily driving. With the ss hose it changes the feel a bit also. Makes it a little easier on the foot.

MY ACT XTreme S/S disc and pressure plate is supposedly rated for over 400 FP of tourque... I wouldn't go with a puck unless i had to... but then again, i drive in the city a lot.
