well my centerforce isnt doing so hot with the boost.. i was thinking ACT. what should i get like a XTSS? i dont wanna have to rev to 5k and slip to drive it on the street.

CM stage 3. Perfect for this application. Smooth engagement, doesnt require Arnold Swartzze****** to disengage the clutch, and clamping power is double that of stock.

I have an ACT HDSS (with the performance organic disc) and it's holding the power just fine......I'm probably making like 330 whp SAE or so, and the best thing is it drives like stock.....if exedy made a sprung three puck for our cars, I'd say get that, but they dont Whatever you do, DONT get an unsprung puck clutch, they're a pain in the *** and are only worth it if you're making the power to need one....

any difference between petal feel between the XTSS and the HDSS?

I'd go with a stage4...still very streetable, will hold the power better, and still easier on the tranny than an ACT, imo.

ive been useing an rps stage 3 (now called sprung hub max) for the past year... true i not pushing 300 hp, but ive put the clutch through some heavy abuse, i do my launches at 6.6k with slicks... it has a torque capacity of 390 ft-lbs, so it might be what you are looking for, somewhat pricey though...

anyone else use RPS

i also want to add that ive had the clutch in the car for well over a year and a half... i do 5-8 passes a week, almost every week... the clutch still grabs like new...

Clutches are rated for torque (clamping power). How much torque are you generating? HDSS is good for 278 ft-lbs and the XTSS is good for 386 ft-lbs. I have the XTSS and there is a signicant increase in pedal pressure between the HDSS and the XTSS. If I could do it again, I would still opt for the XTSS. You do get use to it and now I do not notice the pressure at all. Just make sure you get a sprung hub.

I've heard good thing about RPS as well as Exedy. I've heard mixed opinions on Clutchmaster.

I have the Exedy Ceram-Metallic Stage 3 and it grabs like crazy when heated....REPEAT when heated. It will slip a little if it's cold but when it's heated it feels like a 6 puck. I am putting 382 whp 298 lb trq and the clutch is holding just fine.
