Please recommend flywheel/clutch

I tried search already but would like more input.

It needs to be streetable and handle about 450lb ft. torque.

Right now I'm considering an ACT street/strip clutch mated to a Racing Beat 9.5lb flywheel.

Does anyone have this setup? How do you like it? Does it have any chattering problems?

Thanks,
Victor

I had the ATC street/strip disk and the drag pressure plat with a Clutch Master fly wheel that at 9 lb on a turbo charge Honda that was at 400 hp and was great set up. I would recomend it....

I think that's a good choice. Realistically, you won't be making that kind of torque on an everyday basis on a street FD..........

look at the sr and m2 flywheels,they don't have as many bolts holding the surface disc, and with mine it became warped due to this. racing beat has more bolts , should be better. also act sells flywheels, 9.5 lbs steel

im on the stock FW and an ACT extreem clutch. it's supposed to be good for 450 fwhp. i also have an braided clutch line. there's a little more softness in the peddle at the top of the clutch (clutch engaged) than stock, and of course it takes a little more effort but it's nicely streetable.

i don't really think you did a search j/k
I am running the act clutch with the xtreme plate and stock FW. I love it so far, but my mods are kinda limited right now so the clutch is far is more than I need at this time.

Multi plate

It's suppose to stick and give drivability.

I have a JUN racing 9.5lb chromolly steel flywheel with an ACT extreme pressure plate and six pad race disc and it slips before I get up to 15psi boost and 9000rpm, I changed the disc last month and its slipping again!!, I now have a complete OS Giken twin disc clutch setup to install , it really is the better way to go if your'er making MAD power , if not the ACT will work fine. my present ACT setup is for sale if you,re interested.

You can get an Exedy triple plate for around $1700 give or take a couple hundred bucks from different retailers.
It's nice considering you get a complete clutch/flywheel package that holds the power yet it's streetable.

Triple plate? That's kinda tough to drive. I have the Mazdaspeed version of the twin plate and it was quite difficult to drive at first until I got use to it. I can't imagine a triple plate. If I had to do it over, I'd get the single plate version. I heard it was real easy to drive. Compared to mine, it probably is.
