Im definitely getting an ACT. Ive heard that the ACT extreme is really hard to press down and can get annoying. This car will be my daily driver. Will the heavy duty clutch be sufficient for 6-8lbs of boost? thanks

ACT has a very stiff pedal feel. I had it and in traffic it's a bitch!! I'm loving my clutch masters stage 4 for now. Looking to upgrade to a tilton or ATS clutch in the near future.

Agreed,
I'm so used to it now I can't remember it being stiffer than stock but first time I got in and pressed the pedal in it was much stiffer.

i got a ACT HD and i like it. ithe chatter gets annoying at times... but most perf. clutches are like that. it feels stiffer than stock.. but you get used to it. kinda feels better that way and not so soft.

I have an ACT extreme pp and ss disc on my B16. During break in it was stiff, but I got used to it. The only time it feels stiff to me now is when I get in a stock car and can compare. Mine is fine in traffic, I guess my clutch leg is just stonger than most peoples However, I'm going to replace it with a Clutchnet stage 2 when I pull the engine this summer
