Are you staying stock frame turbo? If so you will most likely have high tq numbers too

My ACT HDSS which is a street disk held 565whp and 475tq and it was used for a long time and the disk had to be replaced once already from a ton of track launches. I didn't even resurface the flywheel and it still held. It slipped when it got really cold but I was probably making closer to 600. I think a proper install with a new one would hold fine and it drives great.

XTSS with a Sprung 6 Puck. You can choose a street disc as well but just get a six puck. Almost zero chance of lock out and will hold a ***-ton of torque and last a VERY long time.

Sprung or un-sprung? I admit that it is more gabby but I had a 6 Puck back in my DSM days and despite making deceleration noises I could inch it around and parallel park in tight places.

I run the 6-puck sprung with no issues...570hp/430tq@wheels...shifts at 9k like butter. I followed the recommendation to wire brush the transmission splines and then lightly lubed them with MolyLube so the disk freely slides and will disengage.

I agree this clutch is not recommended if you live in a hilly area.

Sprung and I hate how hard it grabs which is why I'm hesitant to shift hard.
