EXEDY twins cheapest versions are in the $1300 range, which is over your budget and over-kill for your goals.

EXEDY twin discs do not drive like stock. We install 100 a year.

I don't really have a budget I just don't want to spend $1500.00 on a clutch if I don't have to. I will be taking the car to the track and yes I will be slipping it. So again if I don't have to go twin I won't but if that is what I need then that is what I will get.

i have still have my twin since my stock turbo and still have it with my 50trim. It's a cusco thats 2years old and 45k miles.

In the next year, i know it will die on my next event because of the higher engagement im seeeing now. After having the twin, im going to get a single because of cost. ACT/Fidanza flywheel and clutch it is almost $500 cheaper. Which is like the cost of clutch install.
If i could affordd the twin plate again i would do it again. It was awesome and held all the power, chirps 2nd gear, and lasted longer than i expected.

I've driven with act hdss and love how smooth & noiseless it is. I haven't raced with it though. The only thing im scared going single disc clutch is the quick no lift shifts and lockout problems. We will see though....

I'll be doing the xtreme pressure plate with (6 sprung hub disc/ss organic) not sure yet on which disc. Time for a heavy clutch pedal again.

Isn't the cusco twin rebuildable? If it is it will probably only cost what a new single plate would cost. Just a thought though.

I think I am going to go with the ACT HDSS Clutch with the Gruppe-s 10.5 lb flywheel. They say the clutch is good for 497 ft lbs so I think that should do the job good for me.

The HDSS disc is prove to high RPM lockouts. The 497tq is a crank rating not rated at the wheels.

If you can deal with high rpm lockouts and are prepared for these symptoms up front, go for it.

And with any launching you will have to replace fairly quickly.

I'm guessing it's more of a hit and miss with this clutch. I run the HDSS with the Exedy flywheel and haven't had any problems with locking out. I made a little over 400wtq and I no lift shift at the track.

What about the HD 4 or 6 puck disc? Is going with the puck disc a better setup?

Whatever clutch you decide to get - when all is done you wipe yourass e.g.,
adjust clutch pedal,
adjust clutch pedal,
adjust clutch pedal

Engage/disengage too far up = your new clutch will be shot in 1000 miles and from wear - it doesn't slip like a worn clutch when this occurs so it's easily overlooked

Engage/disengage too far down = notchy shifting at first and in 5000 miles you build an account with TRE

Just another option. I'm running the SPEC stage 3+ with the comp lightweight flywheel. It works great and good up to 595lbs/tq... The clutch should run you about $650...
