The ACT 6-puck is streetable enough to allow you the ability to take off from a dead stop on an incline without taking it up to 3k... It also has a firm enough engagement to handle the duties of track days wonderfully... I wouldn't recommend it for N/A applications though, or even a stock TII for that matter...

Well, I've had enough of my 4-puck. Yeah, it kicked *** off the line... was like nothing else I've ever driven, but it just made me worry.
Word of advice: 4 puck + street driving = bad idea.. especially if you live in a hilly area. It's not about "driving skill," it's about having a rearend.

Maybe its just me, but they seem like a damn good company. Also i dont trust any "kits" off ebay or anything like that.
