Default Help me decide on a clutch

Basically ive looking for a new clutch. Ive ran act 6puck action 6 puck and come to the conclusion, i kill them way to fast. Im looking to step up to the twin disc setup for this coming season. My car is mostly street with a few track passes, making somewhere in the 450-550whp goals. I want to have the best "street ability" and holding power. Is a full ceramic or carbon carbon the way to go?

What should I be looking at?

TIA

I don't think you need a carbon carbon clutch. i would suggest a SPEC twin. Ho long are you expecting it to last?

Well i got about 6k out of a unsprung six puck. The disc is shot and the pp and flywheel is really dug up. Im not expecting it to last forever, but get decent usage and not hate life when it comes time to drive my car on the street.

clutchmasters stage 5 4-puck with HD pressure plate might hold up, it will hold up better than the 6puck ACT, those things are JUNK! and the CM kit drives like a sprung full face imo...

Ive had both Action and ACT. Im trying to steer away from a puck setup. Im looking more or less to what twin disc would be best for my setup (competition, exedy CM fx600 specifically)

I suggest a Competition Clutch Twin Disc that is the best bet but a Competition Clutch Stage 5 with upgraded pressure plate will also work sir.

I would have to recommend the competition clutch twin disk as well. Its better to get a little overkill then to kill the clutch.
