It might be fine for you since yours is a weekend warrior, but at least drive such a car so you know what you'd be dealing with every time you sit in the seat if you haven't already.

LOL, Matt my 6puck is sprung.

I promise you if you drove it for the day you would have been better with it, jeez my wife drives the car and doesn't complain. :P

Brandon, Mo - I only am making around 375ftlbs of torque at Shane's so I'm not quite up to your torque levels but the 6 puck ACT has been really good for launching and not slipping. I think the street disk doesn't handle the heat as well and will slip easier. Try swapping out to a 6 puck ACT and see how it goes. I think Shane is running one in Mara's car without any slipping issues. 10k on mine so far in the Evo and its still a great clutch, I would definitely get another.

Re: Clutch Opinions

Maybe I'll throw a 6 puck in with my current 2600 and see how she does before scrapping the PP or trying the dreaded old/new 2900 I have sitting around.

Re: Clutch Opinions

The 2600 you have now, is that the new or old pressure plate? Mixing an old PP, with a new disc, could cause some dragging issues.
