4 puck is way overkill unless you have REALLY HIGH power...no need for 4puck....i had ACT 4puck in my car when the turbo kit was on and it was horrible so i switched out for a 6 puck...much better
4 puck engagement is hard to do right without jerking the car and riding the clutch out...go six puck or street/strip disk IMO unless you're running excess of 350 HP

So is the 4-puck more harsh than the 6 puck?

The friction materials have a greater impact on how a clutch engages. You can have a three puck kevlar disc and I will be smooth as silk.

If you use the metallic pucks that come with ACT or ClutchNet you'll be in "shakertown" even if you had 12 pucks.
