No, but this question has been covered over and over.

Look to see what vendors have to offer @ your desired HP range. Thats what I did.

I agree, its important to get in touch directly with the makers to meet my needs and goals, and I have that data... separate from this, I have been in touch with a few manufacturers, and of course, they all say the same thing-- "don't buy this guy's stuff, its junk, buy mine its better!"so, in my experience, the best opinions are typically from those who actually used and may have broken a given clutch setup. So, my intent is to get feedback from direct users. Currently, for the cost and my HP goal and needs, I am leaning towards an ACT 6 puck unit, or possibly an XTD 6 puck. If there are others out there that are more reliable and durable than these clutches, I would love to hear about them

I have the ACT spring 6 puck with HD pressure plate. Honestly, buy the weakest clutch you can live with. The ACT isn't a joy on the street, but its liveable.

I have never heard anyone complain about slipping ACT clutches.

good feedback on the ACT--thank you. stock feel is 2nd to slip/breaking problems, however something too spongy or stiff certainly will not fly.

I have found similar threads here:

The ACT with the heavy duty PP is as far away from stock feel as I could possibly tolerate in a street car.
