Clutch help?

Shooting for 400-450hp, probably slightly less in torque. Any suggestions on brands? I was thinking about just getting a clutch kit from ACT but If I can drop 400-550 on a kit which is better overall then Id rather do that.

ACT makes some really good clutches. Those have always had a good rep. And I know they make some good setups perfect for that amount of power. Check with the DSM-specific vendors... they usually have some good sales on clutches and full kits.

I personally use a Fidanza and I like it a lot, but I've never had a car with an ACT so really can't compare.

The only thing I dont like about ACT is that they run an organic disk in most of their kits. So they rely on a heavy pressure plate to hold more power. If I were you I would get an ACT 2100lbs plate and match it with a kevlar disk from another company. Would be an awesome setup and the kevlar disk would outlast that organic disk.

My buddy is over the 400 whp mark and uses an ACT 2600. I want in between 300 and 350 awhp so I chose an ACT 2100, and have so far been happy with it. I really cant tell much of a difference between that and my stock clutch. Also that is an interesting idea about buying a kevlar disc separately. I never thought of that.

Could you post a link or 2 so I can see what you are talking about in terms of kevlar discs and from which companies?

If I were to find this clutch to go with an ACT 2600 would this suit my needs?
Also, since Im putting a 6bolt engine into a 2g, that means I need a 1g clutch right? Will this fit into my 2g tranny?
