Help me pick a clutch!!
 

ok im in a delema,
the car is gonna be modded out..fully built and large ported motor, t04s, apex fmic, haltec. 1600 secondaries...all the bases covered..on the street im gonna run 16psi wich should be fine with the street strip,, but when i go to the trac ill be runnin 22psi and lookin to lay down over 500rwhp


my original plan was to go with act extreme press plate, and the racing beat 6 puck sprung hub...
but it seems no one can get me just the extreme press plate (havent called $rx7 i was hopin they would e-mail me back)..even when i contacted act they just recomeded gettin the ZX3-HDR6
but the unsprung hub makes me leary and its only the reg hd press plate. but will hold 577ft lbs how streetable is the unsprung hub? i dont really do any stop and go at all but u never know..
then theirs the street/strip clutch for 480 seems to be best value since it includes the bearings (75$ value) and is supost to hold 402ft lbs. will it hold up to my motor in race trim?? or should i spend the $ find the extreme press plate, the racing beat 6 puck sprung ( rotor sports said they can get the extreme press plate for 358) 358press plate+155disk +70 bearings=583+ship
i e-mailed tony and jason, tony said hed have to lok to see if they even made one

so should i go ( all you high hp guys feel free to chyme in)

480+ship and ??? will it hold all my power(street/ srtip)

or 583 and if it dosent hold i dont know what will(if i can find the press plate)
thanks guys

someones gotto know...:D

ACT all the way! Don't get a puck clutch if you like driving the car on the street. If you do make sure it has the springs in the center of the clutch to help reduce engagement chatter.

get the extreme for $rx7 and get the racing beat. you know you wanna be like me :D

be like mike! or be like vosko!....

Be like mike has a much better ring to it... he has millions and millions of dollars and vosko works at comp usa... I say be like mike instead

sure mike has millions of dollars and can dunk, etc but i have so much more going for me. oh wait i was dreaming again. nevermind :rolleyes:

call these guys and get a 6 puck sprung hub disk and a ACT extreme presure plate.

I think clutchnet also makes hi po pressure plates. there are a few 500rwhp cars arround here running these clutches with great results. for testimonials or just a good deal on clutch-net stuff, call the guys at T&R: (718) 725 0179 they run these clutches in thier 10sec street cars with no complaints.

You may want to post this question in the single-turbo section; I'm sure the T-78 owners can help you out!

Get a ACT heavy duty or Bonez heavy duty pressure plate and a spring hub 6 puck clutch. It'll be perfect for the street/strip for a single turbo. Remember you'll be driving on the street more then you are at the track.

I have a used (about 3000 miles - i think) ACT 6 puck clutch with pressure plate sitting in my garage. I will sell it real cheap if you want it. Im not an expert on clutches, so I cant really say anything about the condition of it. I can provide pics if you want.
