Think PR is bad? I went to DR (visit family) and holy **** are the roads bad. You need to drive a lifted truck their to make from point A to point B.

I need a clutch that can handle around 500whp/tq. I was thinking on just replacing the street disk with a 6 puck from ACT. Do you guys tgink this a good idea? Any other options?

Thanks in advance and happy new year

ACT Street Disc HDSS (heavy duty pressure plate)
Info from site: The ACT Street EVO kit will hold up to 497LBS Torque

act 3200 setup will have no noise..i used it while on a 35r and my clutch didnt like the abuse. If you want to push your car just save for a twin disk. My buddy with an 03 and me in my 9 both have noises off of 1st gear on that exedy twin disk.

price you pay for performance

For what its worth, i've been debating the same question as OP - i'm leaning towards the Act XTSS with the normal disc - but my numbers will be closer to 450 than 500 whp.
