Why not the Exedy? I got the hyper single from Jason, and it's holding up real well! Is it because you already have a flywheel you want to keep?

You may be pushing too much power for this, but the ACT street/strip setup is absolutely the best clutch I've ever had. I've had the same setup on all 3 of my past cars.

Sigh. I miss being able to get these parts at cost. Last time I purchased an ACT S/S, I paid $375.

Just recently they up'd the cost of the S/S to around $430. I was quite dissapointed not to get it for $375. Oh well, atleast they offer a non-stock clutch disk now.

I'm using the ACT HD PP with a Horsepowerfreaks sprung 6-puck and an ACT 9.5lb flywheel, and I love it. I believe it is technically supposed to be able to hold around 5XXrwt.
