ACT or centerforce clutch?
Which clutch should I use? My stock one is going out and I don't want to replace it with an OEM one. My car only has DP and exhaust right now.

I don't like centerforce, I had one and it wore out pretty quick. I've heard good things about ACT but never had one. Also check out SPEC Star clutches. Good quality and a few bucks cheaper than ACT. I had a SPEC in my car and loved it and felt it was very high quality.

ACT clutches are sweet 
I just put a street / strip in my 1990 TII... Engagement is a little snappier than stock (you can modulate / slip it nicely), but it'll GRAB if you want it to

I've had the Centerforce and it didn't hold for more than 4months. I now have the ACT 6puck w/ the extreme pressure plate. It will handle anything you throw it. I also have used the ACT street/strip clutch with the extreme pressure plate. That is probably your best bet.

FWIW, I toased an ACT HD pressure plate with the OEM disk. I then switched to the Extreme ACT plate with an OEM disk. Holding up ok, but doesn't love the dragstrip. I do ok with it there.
I'd stay away from the 6-puck as it's a solid hub design which will generate more driveline shock, especially on the gearbox.
If I were you, I'd run the ACT extreme pressure plate with the Clutchmasters stage 3 or 4 clutch disk. Both are sprung hub carbon/kevlar and should be better than the organic OEM disk that ACT offers.
