I want to be at 300hp (crank), because I won't be upgrading my turbo on my redtop, just upgrading my injectors to 480cc, and getting my ecu reprogrammed. Which act clutch do you recommend the Street or 4 puck?

Well any of the clutches are going to hold that amount of HP without a problem, so i'd base the decision on what style driving you'll be doing and what you like...

if you want something good for the street, stop and go, and want a stock pedal feel, then go with the street.

4 puck is the hardest engaging and will suuuck on the street

6 puck is inbetween, and will be good for track racing, and maintain good engagement for street driving, grabs very hard, but wont be the best for traffic and stop and go...its ok for hte street, but if your commuting everyday, or a lot, it does suck in traffic...

i use an iron clutch, and although i drive it on the street, and love my clutch, i do not drive everyday, and i hate driving in traffic with it...its very rough on the transmission as well.

so for the hp all are good...just decide what you want it to 'feel' like when you push the pedal, and release the pedal....closest to stock feel would be the street application.

i have no odometer, but i barely drive my car...i'd say in the last year it has about 500-700 miles...

My clutch will prob never go out ; )

The stock clutch wouldnt last that long at that level, but those ACT clutches would be good, or should be good, depending on abuse, for over 60k....but it all depends on how it was treated, i went through a centerforce clutch in two days due to not breaking it in properly.....i had an act in my car with KA for about 20k, took it out, it was still perfect, and reused it in another car with no problems....
