I am almost done building up my car now and my question is should i use this clutch for now or just go with a tilton now? Its a ACT 4 puck Xtreme PP, i am hoping to hit close to 500hp or slightly above that. I know the clutch won't hold up that long but do you think it will hold up till after the dyno or should i just bite my tongue and get a tilton clutch now? The clutch has seen 2 years of daily driving but nothing pass 300whp at the time. Give me suggestions please!!! TIA... btw sorry for the weak pictures, i can only take the pictures thru phone camera tonite.

Looks like that disc has had about all it can take... dont want those rivets eating in to your flywheel or pressure plate, so just replace it now... If you cant afford the tilton, just get another 4 puck or a 6 puck... I dont know how much they are where you live, but here i can go to a shop 10 minutes away, and pick up the 4 puck disc for 50 bucks out the door

 

i guess i will have to just get a tilton clutch, should i also get the master cylinder and throw out bearing? Why is it recommended to use tilton's MC and TO bearing?

 

just curious, are tiltons streetable? i know this guy around miami making 500+ and running a tilton but can u sit in traffic, drive it to school, and to work without breaking your leg or blowing the tranny?

 

it should be ok because i drive a act 4 puck xtreme daily, in traffic and everything. It gets a little tiring and stuff but its not like you cant do it.

 

still torn between getting a tilton now or staying with the 4 puck until it goes...

 

I always recomennd going with the tilton. Ive had mine for 3 + years and ive only rebuilt it once. Thats every day driving/track with 25's.

 

tilton if you can afford it, but if not then your normal 350-550 clutch should be good.

 

I know sooner or later i will get it, so if i waste money i might as well get a tilton... I also heard good things about the exedy twin disk, anyone have any feedback on that? Do you guys think my act 4 puck will hold up for a little while or will it just break down on me right away at 500hp? I just wanna be able to get past the dyno and maybe a few runs. I won't be seeing that much power on the streets anyway and i won't be going to the track that often also. I just dont want it to go out on me at the dyno and waste my money on the dyno.

Throw that act 4 puck in and get a tilton when it goes out?
or
Get a tilton now?

 

I'd bite the bullet and get the tilton now. Nothing like being on the dyno and burning out an old clutch....not to mention a wasted day.

 

get an exedy twin disc. better value and better feel. once you go twin disc you wont go back...
