Yup, ACT HD-00, which is the heavy duty pressure plate and stock disc. Works well up to about 350rwhp in my experience.

I've got a couple thousand on my ACT S/S, and its been great so far. The car has a street port, cat back exhaust, downpipe, stock cat, intake, boost controller and a few other goodies.

What problems have you had with the SPEC clutch?

I am running a spec stage 3 sprung 6 puck now with no problems. pedal pressure is pretty light, which i dont like. I kinda miss my act s/s, but it would not hold up to the torque of the BNRs.

I'm on my second act xtreme duty clutch. The first one went out after 6 months. Well that's what the transmission shop said. I personally think it was the clutch fork, and not the clutch itself. Oh well.......
