Hm. Provide more info?

What kind of HP are you putting out? Stock vs 350HP is a big difference.

What are you using it for, and what are your requirements? Does "Street/Racing" mean "Drive it to the track & back" or "Daily driver, raced on weekends"? There's a big difference between the two in terms of what is tolerable for a clutch.

the act extreme pressure plate with upgraded streetdisk should be a good one.

beware the 6-puck...especially in bumper to bumper traffic. works great, but engages like an on/off switch

my friend uses an rps clutch that he got for like $230.. 6-puck sprung.

i don't know any details behind it, but it holds down the power from a halfie with a 60-1 turbo, so it'll probably be just fine for at least 400 hp.

How does it engage? My understanding is that that style of clutch is wonderful for racing, and horrid for daily driving.

well the hub, being sprung, makes it a bit more friendly for street use. but it is technically a "race" clutch.

it all depends on how you work it... i could use one on the street with no problems.
