272's or ACT street?

on my stocker I have 13,500 miles and 300/300 on a Mustang dyno. Should I buy a ACT clutch so I have a better platform to work on and something that can hold power and launch occasionally or get 272's and the stocker should hold the power? I don't want ppl replying get both because if I had the money then there's no reason for this thread.

personally, i would go with the 272's, i think you would be fine with your stock clutch as long as you dont beat on it.

Get the clutch. Trust me! When I put my cams in and got tuned the clutch went. I was not even driving the car hard. Second gear roll will murder the stock clutch. Remember you are now putting more power down. Get the clutch then cams.

^ I'll have to agree with WRX Kila .... although I'm not quite sure how you can kill an inanimate object like a WRX

I personally doubt the stocker can handle the extra power even if I don't launch on it. Thanks guys.

272's and then start saving for the clutch just in case it goes out on you.

6 puck is very hard to drive on a daily basis. I had one for a while. It kicks *** at the track, but outside of that,...

just did my 272's and gears and all fuel getting tunned thursday and am half way saved for the clutch and install i have 19,400 on mine still is perfect but i can almost garuntee it wont hold soon depending on how your clutch feels now and how u have treated it is the decision i know mine will hold for at least a month + and all i need is about 2 weeks to have the money for the act.....

Check out the RPS 6 puck. The torque capacity is the same as the act but you can slip it just like stock. The pedal feels only slightly heavier.
