As far as my PPF I'm already taking it out now and in the middle of Fabricating reinforcement gussets which I'm going to weld in this week.

just baby the launch you won't break anything

Ditto, I love my ACT 6puck. Just wish I didn't waste all the time and money jacking with organic "street" disc's. I even tried the "Extreme" PP. Now I'm back to a HD plate with the 6 puck. No problems slipping the launch on street tires or even pulling 1.62's on slicks. I've never stalled it yet either.

i have seen the light! my car has an extreme pp and rb six puck sprung disk. RB disk came on the car so i figured might as well use it. if i wear it out i have a spare act 6 puck unsprung disk

nocab,
the act clutches will not hold that amount of power, despite what they say. it might hold for a few hard launches, and then what? you'll have to replace them again. i wore out my act s/s on my bone stock fd w/ just a few hard launches, so that gives you an idea of how accurate they're torque figures are. the fact is if you want the clutch to hold for more than a couple passes you'll need a twin plate. on top of the abuse they can take, the pedal effort is easier than a puck type clutch.

twin plates cost ALOT $2000 . i have seen quite a few cars with ACT puck clutches. none of them have failed. i agree the S/S will fail but it will take alot to kill a 6 puck

I'll probably give the 6puck a whirl, if I smoke that I'll know I need to dig deep and be ready for the twin plate.

wait til you really start launching hard, w/ anti-lag and 30lbs. of boost off the line. if it's a moving component, you'll break it.
