twin disc is if you want to spend the money and have stock-ish pedal feel

act puck style with the hd pressure OR the ttp spec act kit, for a cheaper alternative and a stiffer pedal

its up to you, both will hold your power

you may have gotten the clap from her, but if a little research had been done, you wouldve known

a.k.a. the street disc is not good for high rpm shifting

I dont/didnt know what clutch was in itbecause the guy i bought it from just new it was an ACT and no other info..All I know is im trying to get something that good for street and track both and thats why i am asking questions...I have heard and read more negative stuff about ACT than positive so i personaly want a different clutch that will meet my needs...

I have the MB7-HDSS with their Streetlite flywheel and I have not had any lockout issues. It is most likely an installation issue.

How do you install a clutch wrong? It is quite simple.
