i am shootin for 400 to 450 hp on a forged ls/vtec wit a gsr tranny! whats a good clutch to run?

i was thinkin comp clutch 4 puck sprung or maybe unsprung?

 

A lot of people swear by the action 2md. I will give it a shot pretty soon as I am still on a exedy stg 1 clutch (~330whp, no slipping issues), but I will be going back to the dyno soon to go for ~400whp. I think I will likely need a new (stronger) clutch. GL.

 

I'm using the Action 2MD and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

Feels AWESOME and is holding my power no problem!

 

I am a big fan of ACT clutches

Also, when finding a clutch they are rated by tq, not hp.

Very true. I only referred to hp level because that's how Action rates them.

I know, I know, every engine turns diff rpm so this rating is bit fallacious. Oh, well.

 

competition stage 5, 4 puck sprung FTW, but i already suggested that lol.

 

comp clutch

ive been running my 1620 6puck sprung kit for awhile, and it's holding the abuse great

 

you could try goodclutch.com that's where i got mine from. i think its 'good'

im running a CC Stage 5

 

been hearing great stuff about comp clutch.
i still swear by exedy though.

 

thanks guys

 

Sorry to bump up an old thread, but I'm in the same dilemma as the OP. Aiming for a 400whp LS/VTEC w/ GSR tranny and was looking at the ACT 4 puck with a heavy duty preasure plate. Do u guys suggest this clutch will hold up fine? Car isn't daily driven, so pedal pressure isn't a huge concert.

Thanks

 

competition clutch stage 5 w/ the upgraded Pressure plate!!! 550whp daily driven and taken to the strip often. Never had a problem in 2yrs!!

 

I loved my ACT...

I just went with competition stage 5 this year... puttin it in today, ill let you know how it feels

 

ACT 6 puck sprung heavy duty cover on a cable box, bites a little in traffic holds 400+ torque, not to heavy to push if you get the cable run right.
At the track it works very well, no problems at all.

 

where could i find ither the 2md clutch or the comp stage 5 clutch

 

Just ordered a competition stage 4 unsprung from Chris. Great guy. Cant wait

 

If you want a good but yet not pricy Clutch get the Competition 4 or 5 stage. They really are awsome clutches. I heard good things about ACT but pricy. and heard nothing but good things about competition i have satge 4, 6 puck sprung hub nice piece of thing.

What he said

 

competition clutch 3 years and counting, not slipping with a 300 hp level, and that was the stage 2, I love it, the clutch pedal still engages and feels like stock, but grips like hell when under hard driving conditions

 

i just bought myself a action clutch cant wait to test it out

 

I have an ACT XTSS. I love it.

Engages good, grabs good. pedal pressure isnt too bad, I actually like it way more than stock.

 

Glad I cam across this. Motor is being rebuild but might as well put a new clutch in while I can. CC Stage 4 it is. Sprung since it is DD.

 

I have a CC stage 5 4 puck sprung on the way.
