I have the ACT street clutch. i like how it grabs right off the floor. when the clutch is cool is grips great, however if i really work it and it heats up a little, it slipps just a bit. ACT is local to me so i went by and explained. I have the heavy duty pressure plate. they say next time i change clutch is to use the Xtreame plate. that should help out.

get the act 6 puck with the hd preasure plate,not the xtreme p/plate.if you are changing your flywheel,get chromoly,if you are not, make sure the stock is even and free of burns and burrs.

I recommend the street disk and XT plate. thats what im going with next time. dont get a puck type if its a daily driver. way too aggressive. It will hold but you dont want it for daily driving

I have ACT XT clutch. Good for daily driving and for high torque. Great but need a minor mod.
You have to push the pedal to the end to work, so you have to add a 4mm cap at the engine side of the clutch. Then you dont have to push the clutch pedal to the floor.
