i have the 6 puck with extreme pressure plate and fidanzia flywheel. feels great. engages a little harsh on the street but you get use to it. I dont imagine a 4 puck engages as harshly as the 6 but I am really satisfied with my setup.

I used to run ACT 4 Puck w/ HD Pressure Plate daily driven on the street. It just needed getting use to. Only problems were if you were on an incline. You have to be good!

I now run ACT 6 Puck w/ HD Pressure Plate, and I like it better.

I've also have tried Centerforce and Cluch Specialities, and the ACT 6 Puck is my best so far.

I know some people have chatter with unsprung discs because of the engagement, guess it really depends on driver and how much you are able to get a feel for the engagement. I have a ACT 6 puch with an Extreme PP, mine doesnt chatter it just engages really quick because I have adjusted my clutch pedal so that the engagement/release is really low.

Also keep in mind that aggressive clutches also tend to grind down the flywheel. If you use an aggressive clutch, you will definitely find yourself replacing the flywheel ALOT sooner than you otherwise would.

I have the act with the extreme pp, but I have the street disc. Works great. Still kinda harsh on the street on big hills, but engages great and holds strong.

Very true! Last time my set up went out on me, it was because it dug a nice groove into the flywheel and it couldn't grab it anymore. There was stil material left on the puck clutch itself!!

You might want to see if ACT Street Disc w/ Extreme Pressure Plate works better. Won't be so hard on the flywheel since it's a street disc, and it has high clamping loads cuz of the pressure plate.

do you think the clutch that you had talked about will hold 250-260hp? (Xtreme PP w/SS)

Why not? The pressure plate will be holding the power.
