The 550ft/lbs rating is at the crank. The XTSS and a 6-puck will add 100 more ft/lbs to it. Un spring even more, like 700+ Very harsh but will not slip at all.

The XTSS is a the best for the street IMHO. Holds more torque then the twin disk by EXEDY!

Riceball, the pedal is definitely stiffer than stock but it isn't bad, at all. It's not quite as forgiving as stock since it grabs much harder, but you will get used to it very quickly. Honestly, if the pedal stiffness bothers you, then you are a wuss, haha.

RMS, no I do not have the restrictor pill removed and I will not remove it. You obviously have strong resentment towards the ACT clutch even though tons of people are happy with their setup. To each their own.

BTW, the clutch kit and flywheel ran about $850 shipped or so.

The XTSS clutch that RSGuy got is a very good setup he will have no problems. People who have issues with the XTSS clutch on the stock based turbos either cant drive very well or are extremely hard on clutches. It is rated for 567 ft lbs at the clutch disc/flywheel connetion. It will definitely hold up better than the Exedy twin disc NON HD model, for much less money. It will hold as much or more torque than the Twin disc HD model also.

Thanks for the nice words RSGuy.

Brian
