Well, silly me for thinking that the ACT S/S clutch would handle a bar of boost on a built KA.

What's on the market for the KA that will handle the kind of power I'm making (350+)?

Obviously, I'd like something streetable, and usable in traffic.

I've been told by a pretty reliable source that I can use an RB20 flywheel and cluthch on the KA, can anyone confirm? Seems there would be more high-performance clutch options for that application...

Tulips are my favorite flowers incase you guys were wondering.

ACT 6 puck all the way!!!!!!! works fine on my brothers 220 rwhp sr, my 120 rwhp ka dd, and the 210 rwhp kat project. damn i seriosuly LOVE that clutch

its rated to 350 ft lbs of tourque anyway. we have NO slippage whatsoever and daily driving it is GREAT. takes a miniscule amount of time to get used to, but i would not have it any other way!

Good find, WCB! Thanks much. That confirms and corroborates what I heard perfectly.

I have an RPS. I tried to make it slip the other day and couldn't. It snaps hard but after a week of it you can make it very streetable. I love it. I got the 400ftlb version Got it from Marty at injected performance.
