Which clutch to choose to hold around 400-450 RWHP?
 
I will eventually be running about 400-450 HP so I will probally need to change my clutch pretty soon due to the soon to come modifications on my car. After I get these parts in I will probally have about 320. But thats almost pushing the limits for the Street strip cluthes. So what are people opinions?

Thanks,
Dan

Street Strip ATC clutch should be fine for it, if you intend to keep it as a daily driver, and weekend drag car. If you are really worried about it and want to run 400-450 rwhp all the time, then get the 6 puck ATC clutches, but I would only recommend it to people who want to drag thier cars daily, and do not drive it on the street often, since they get annoying. But its up to you.

Yeah I really don't want to do that, I was wandering if there was any other clutch without going 6-puck taht would hold that much HP. It will most likely be my daily driver, for a while at least.

Scrub: There are lot's of guys out there running ACT S/S with high HP on the street (TomsRX7). You might ask on the single turbo forum how many use it. I like mine, it's easy to live with on the street. I currently running low 300's. Tom

Get a twin plate, they can hold that much power easy. I can probaly find you one, how much are you looking to spend?

Daily Driving and 400 rwhp clutch?...twin plate is the ONLY way to go. No other clutch will will be streetable enough AND hold 400 rwhp.

Ask ANYBODY with a twinplate if it's streetable....they'll all agree. It's streetable.

I was looking to spend anywhere from 400-700 on a clutch, and probally around 400 on a flywheel.

I called Racing Beat today to inquire about the Tilton Twin Plate clutch. The guy told me they are very "Unstreetable" is he just full of shit? everyone else I have talked to says this is really the only way to go.

Are these things tough to drive? are Tilton's any good?

I am still considering a 6 puck with a sprung disk...or a S/S with the extreme pressure plate.
