I'd get an ACT HDSS. Perfect, mellow clutch with great holding capacity. 497 ft/lbs. I believe

I have the ACT HDSS Clutch and the Xtreme pressure plate. Takes the torque load up to about 600ft./lbs. and feels great for daily driving, yes the cluch is stiff, but not that bad. I also have the ACT lightweight flywheel and I'd recommend that above all.

It sounds like you launch fairly often, so really you should at least consider a twin plate.

Reno Fuel Co. sells VP 101 at the pump for $7.50 per gallon. Also expensive but still a good option

So you're putting in the clutch by yourself? All I know is they say it is quite the pain to do the install. There are some writeups here on evom, but you are braver than I in trying the clutch install. I would advise you not do the autox this weekend if you get the twin HD installed until you properly break it in.

On the SAFC2, I would advise not going that route and using the stock ecu with ecuflash and a tactrix cable to interface with it. It's cheaper, better results, and more capabilities.

Anyways, if you do do the clutch install, good luck and please let us know how it went!
