I run an ACT and make 363whp and I love it. It doesn't make any noise, is easy to modulate, and holds the power.

Was this the sd or hd? Please don't say hd as I'm about to order this clutch....I've read about 30 threads about the hd and haven't really seen anyone say they're not suited for street driving.
