I cant afford a twin disc and want to get my car boosted before the year is over. Will this thing do the trick at around 600 whp 350- tq???


I wont be at the track too often... every once in a while. Mostly street and drag radials around 450-500whp

Ive had good success with ACT on past setups but they werent making any power~250 whp. Im interested to hear good or bad about these clutches.

Oh god your going to hate it. I think the XTR4 is harsh. I really think a sprung clutch is a must for a street car.

the problem with those style clutches isnt that they are a nightmare to drive.....but that they break everything. ive even seen them trash thrust washers

we ran one on my buddys car making about 450hp for around 20k miles w/o any problems... it was pretty tough to drive at times though. deffinatly took some getting used to.

Im running the XTR6 and its driveability is not too bad at all imo. i havent tried high boost yet but low boost holds fine at 370whp

unsprung deff are more violent and take getting used to.
IMO for a street car. . . should be sprung. I have a sprung 6puck now on my supra and its much better then without for sure

I am running an XTR6 also, it was kinda harsh the first 500 miles but now its just fine and has decend driveability.

How much power are you making?

Im using the 6 puck extreme, its not too bad on the street IMO. takes some getting used to and I wouldnt wanna drive it in stop/go traffic. it either bites, or doesnt, not much slipping in between. if running stiff motor mounts, it can shake things a bit, especially on downshifts if not rev matching. but I drive mine on the street all the time, Im used to it. I havent had any slippage yet and the pedal feel is firm. its rated at about 400ft/lbs.

My car does the exact same thing, I am running a solid rear mount and solid torque mounts and if I dont rev-match on a down-shift it will clatter real bad, and reverse is horrible..... just have to slip the clutch and not engage it. I drive mine in stop and go traffic and I have found that the best way to get it not to clatter is only give the car like 1500rpm and let the clutch out while letting off the gas.

I have not boosted on this clutch yet but it will see 450-500 on pump and high 600 on race gas.... so time will tell.

i used the act extreme pp and a comp clutch 4puck sprung on 595whp and it hold for a year and half.it outlasted my oil pump.
now on the new motor i used a actmaxx extreme pp and the act 4 puck sprung so for about 40+ dyno pulls,2000 or street miles and 640whp 450ft and still strong

nice, I might give it a try for a low cost clutch. Is the pedal harsh with that pressure plate?

swapit

no its not to bad, im a big dude too.its a sprung hub so it doesnt engage like a straight puck.

I do this as well, I think I just blip the throttle slightly more than I normally would and it engages fine without much shake. just like any other clutch youll get the feel for it once you drive it a bit. so far I like it fine for the street.

Yea I am just starting to get use to it at 1300 miles, my last clutch was a CM Stg5 and it was really bad, the only way to get it to not clatter was give it 3k rpm and just let the damn thing out, but it had a lighter than stock feel.
