Default reusing a ACT xtreme pressure plate

i was wondering if its ok to reuse the ACT xtreme pressure plate that has 6000-7000 miles on it. it never saw the drag strip or seen any high rpm clutch drops.
heres a pic what it looks like right now.
if i were to reuse it , it will have a new 6puck spung disc and the flywheel will be resurfaced

I reused mine with twice that many miles and a whole lot of drag strip launches. It worked fine. I didn't even resurface the flywheel, just put a new 6-puck disk in it and went.

That pressure plate is fine, reuse it. ACT pressure plates are tough as hell, and can with stand a lot of abuse, and are usually heavier than most apps need. I've reused mine twice without a problem, reuse it

Re-use it...

It will be fine, ive got an organic disc with the street plate, boosted b18c, seen much track time/abuse, holds good.. In a week or so when my wheels come, it will see some more abuse

EDIT: Be sure to use red locite on the PP bolts, and TQ them properly.. I Can say from experience its bad when they start backing off.
