ACT 6-puck unsprung clutch disc with an ACT Extreme pressure plate. This combination is rated to over 400ft/lbs of torque.

Get a sprung hub if you want to street drive it. I drove a 400 whp car with an RPS sprung 6-puck, which has plenty of capacity for that application, but it was very streetable.

I had the ACT 6 puck it grabs but it is too harsh for most. Exedy hypersingle is very nice for that power level.

I daily drove a 4 puck unsprung for about a year with ACT pressure plate and a stock flywheel. It did the trick, it was rough as all hell, but it sure grabbed!

I love my Pineapple Racing sprung hub 6 puck. It uses a more "friendly" material than the ACT models. CJ

I'm still using the ACT street strip with extreme P plate and it has not slipped yet. I thought it would wear out immediately and have been surprised to see that not be the case.

+1 for act 6-puck extreme. I dont feel like i have a problem on the street with it. I actually like the feel of the clutch (I didnt used to though). You have to have a little finesse to street drive it smooth though...

I know where you can find a Brand New RPS that will hold that kinda power.
