ok i talked to ACT today. they had no idea what i was talking about. they referred me to another place in california. i spoke with the guy there for about 20minutes and told him exactly what i needed and he said he went through the same thing with an 850HP twin turbo AWD porsche. the pressure is ductile and can handle the power but it will warp. he said he can take my ACT extreme pressure plate and redo it and upgrade it so it won't warp and will be handle ALOT of power. similar to the porsche clutch setup. also said he can make the center iron disk. i was VERY impressed with the amount of information they gave me. i will probably go with them since ACT doesn't seem to care and the salesperson didn't even know about a car THEY SPONSOR :rant: i have to see what judge ito says but i think i am going to give this clutch setup a try. the guy also said it should last atleast three times longer than a regular clutch setup and he can modify for quicker shifts too. this should be great



vosko spec clutch coming soon :bigok:

I have a Spec Clutch in my FD right now. I was assured that it would hold my power and it has a 1 year warranty that it will not fail on me no matter how much I race it. What is this one that you are going with?

Bryan at BNR sold it to me and I asked him repeatadly if he thought this clutch would withstand the T78. He said, give here hell, it will take it, trust me. He is also the one who built my motor so I hope he will take care of it if anything was to happen. I thought it wasn't going to take my twins but it did good. It just has a soft pedal feel but it is a 4 puck sprung. We'll see I guess.
