"one of the tuners"? Haha. Everyone recommends a twin plate. They are the best and far more reliable. The single disks are ok and can hold power, but have issues and don't hold up as well unless you never race.

 

"Everyone" HA HA!! We have plenty of guys running single plates without issues with cars that are raced hard. I have seen those "best and most reliable" twin plates fail and they have tradeoffs as well.

 

ACT and very happy here. May need something a bit stronger soon though.....

 

i need something that will handle high rev launches at the track and more than 10 times..lol

 

do you really want a twin plate Joeph , remember the hot 2003 you drove to weeks ago

 

i dont think the sound will bother me to much...my car is fawking loud anyways...plus i dont think the single plates will take a whole lot of 6k launches

 

That depends a lot on the launch and which single plate you are talking about. If it's 6k with our street clutch and using the stock restrictor in the hydraulics, sure it's going to be hard on it. That is only because it can only take so much heat from the excessive slipping under boost. But if it's 6k without restrictor and you don't slip it too much, it's not nearly as bad. And if you are running the race disc, it will take a whole lot more abuse. Turbotrix ran the same clutch for a year running nines and it was no problem. After that it was only changed because not because it was worn out, but they really cranked up the power and they needed our first Xtreme pressure plate to handle it.

The key is getting the right clutch for the job. If you get our street clutch, don't expect it to be the ideal race clutch. If you get our race clutch, or the Exedy twin for that matter, don't expect it to be the ideal street clutch. Can they crossover? Sure, but be aware of the benefits and tradeoffs of what ever clutch you are using. If you drive heavy traffic every day, you probably don't want a race clutch. If you are building a quiet sleeper and want to impress your girlfriend, you probably don't want an Exedy twin. If you are building an all out track monster, you don't want a street clutch.

 

i am thinking about getting the act extreme HD plate...the one that holds 636lbs....i think its in between the street disk and the race one

 

I have the ACT 2900 HDSS. Haven't had a prob out of it yet.
