Who here runs 11's with an ACT? IF you do what is your MPH? It seems that most people will not experience lock out because they simply do not shift fast enough.

To anyone that says you people that get lock out need to know how to install a clutch or adjust the clutch rod properly save your breath. I've adjusted that **** every which way from sunday

best time was 12.08 @ 116 (ran 12.080, 12.084, 12.094, 12.092 (traps between 114.5-116) in a row, same day street tires with 1.76-1.78 60 footers. best 3 60 footers i've ever gotten were the day before with 1.66, 1.66 and 1.67 so if i had gotta better 60 footers on those 12.0xx runs i would've been 11's, probably more like 11.85-11.90 ish)

bone stock turbo on straight 93 octane, no weight reduction, full daily driver street car....mods in sig i run the ttp spec 6 puck HD with streetlite. i shift fast enough to chirp all 4 tires shifting into 2nd

We need some more votes lol. theres no way more than have the people that have/had a ACT clutch had lockout issues. Also it seems that theres less lockout issues with the xtreme PP weither or not it was used with a puck or street disc.

96k miles on my HDSS with stock flywheel, no lockout issues at all. I don't drag though, just road race.

I had my Act HDSS clutch and stock resurfaced flywheel installed by Brian at GST and have had ZERO issues with it shifting at high RPMs...7000+ RPMs and have had it installed now for approx. 25-30K miles...I have 103,xxx miles on my evo today.
