approximately how much power you making? You need to give a better idea of how much power or the mods you've got on the motor to give us a better idea of how much power. Once you've got that figured out, then you can search for the clutch brands that lot of people have had good experiences with. Personally I've never had a problem with ACT, some other guys never had problems with Exedy. If you've got money, try HKS, OS Giken, or ORC. Those multi-clutch systems I have tried were marvelous but took a bit of getting used to.

How would the Act stage 1 362holding cap.? I plan to run 15psi with a full three inch exhaust. Anyone have this clutch running this much boost?

supposedly as long as you break it in PROPERLY, the directions say 475, but to be sure i am going to do like 700-800. i know someone running the stage 3 6-puck everday for like 20+miles and its been doin fineyeah the 700-800miles seems like overkill, but hey it only gets broken in once so i'd make sure it gets done right, or you'll be slipping everywhere you go and have to get another one cuz you were to impatient!

spec is fine. running stage 3 and no problems or signs of slippage. actually not bad for daily drive either. make sure you bleed properly, and assemble it EXACTLY what the instruction says. EX, grease the springs of the clutch and resurface your flywheel is really important. torque it right too! do it right the first time and you should be fine.
