I've had the ACT street/strip disc on a few cars, and it always held up well. My Clutchnet 6 puck sprung disc only lasted for about 5-6000 miles, but that may have been my fault.
So you are using a non act clutch disk with the act pressure plate? I want to get a 6 pluck disk but act doesn't have it sprung.

My friend has the ACT pressure plate with the Clutchnet disk. He likes it ALOT better than the unsprung ACT. It was about $150:

Yeah. In a few days the 91 will have the whole turbo drivetrain minus the motor. So when I'm ready I can just drop in a motor.

Ok, if I get a ACT should I get a stock clutch disk with a ACT pressure plate or should I get the ACT clutch plate too? I saw on there site that with the street/strip pressure plate that with the stock clutch disk that it could hold 280ft-lbs of torque. I guess my question is will it burn up the stock clutch disk pretty fast?



Thanks

The ACT street/strip will start to give out around 350 RWHP, according to what others I know have seen.
