Default How is this clutch setup?

I have a Greddy turbo @ 8 psi hoping for 256WHP and about 240 WTQ or so. My stock clutch is done. This is what I'm looking at:

ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate w/ Hybrid Street Disc Kit

41% increase, 278 ft-lb torque, part HA3-HDSS, $378.00

FIDANZA 8 lbs. Aluminum Flywheel, Part Number: 191221, for $180

How does this sound?

i have an act and i love it....as for the flywheels...not sure what to tell you cause i'm using stock. But i do know Fidanza makes nice flywheels. Don't think i was much help deciding what u want for your car but i figured i would voice my opinion.

Thanks for the input. I'm also thinking about keeping the stock clutch. My car is a daily driver, and I'm low on money. So I'm wondering how the stock flywheel and ACT clutch would work.

Stock flywheel should be fine for the budget conscious. Mine is stock with an Action Clutch (1MD).

the ACT flywheels are very nice. They are one-piece forged chromoly steel.

As for the clutch I would go with a higher tq rating incase (when) you decide you want some more power with little chance of overwhelming the clutch. The XTSS is a good high power street clutch but the PP is pretty damn stiff, that's why I like the HDR6 personaly.

Yea, but if I get the HA3-XTSS Extreme Pressure Plate, its rated at 386 / 95%. Won't that be too much if I'm only making like 210-245 WTQ?

So would it be a bad idea for him to run a clutch like the XTSS with a stock flywheel? Ive heard that some clutches have a tendancy to eat stock flywheels...any truth to this?
