Clutch Question....

I bought the XTD clutch kit about a year ago when i went single and the clutch handles good... except it's not really for kind of nice daily driving... it's a sprung 6 puck and when i try to let of the clutch slowly i can hear it trying to catch up, like shaking or whatever. This can be really anoying since i have to give it more gas just so i can move...

I mean overall this clutch is really good if you drag race the car a alot... because when i drop the clutch at around 3-4k it grabs really nice...

If i just get that Act Street/Strip clutch disk and keep this Pressure plate, will i be good to go? Can this disk handle the power? I'm pushing around 380-400rwhp...

Thanks

it's the Torque that matters, not really the HP.

ok i just did some more searching and stuff, i found out that the XTD clutch has some shatter and it's the way it is....

My question now is... If i replace it with the Act Street/Strip clutch... the one that is not the puck... will that be fine for me...

Like i said i have a single, with the normal mods, pushing about 380rwhp... that is what in torque? I'm not planing on going any further..

Thanks
