the act heavy dute street strip would be nice, but that is about at it's power limit



I'd suggest the sprung 4 puck on www.mazdaracing.com built solid, not too hard to engage, and should last for a while even under that kind of power

i dont think theres quite a good answer for that question if u ask me because a street strip act clutch is quite good but i dont think itll take 350 foot pounds of torque and the clutch that will hold all that power is a 4 or 6 puck like i have sprung or unsprung its gonna eat out your flywheel in a few months... so u choose lol... if u have extra flywheels i would suggest a 6 puck sprung.. its not that hard to engage,, doesnt vibrate like an unsprung and can hold some good power.. just my opinion from experience

What about the Bonez Street-Comp Clutch from rx7.com? Is that any good?

The Clutchnet 6 puck with springs is pretty good.

I would say spend the extra cash and get a cluch flywheel combo. that way the clutch is matched to the flywheel.

350 ft/lbs? Your not putting in a V8 are you? if so then you need to shop around for a clutch that is specific to that V8

ClutchNet and SPEC are now good competition for ACT... the Clutchnet stuff looks real good and they have a ton of disc options
