Mines the act up with oem disk 600ponies no slipping yet but I just do pulls no launches on 1st

your timing must be mild as hell. That clutch is only rated to like 370tq. Mine slipped completely at ~340tq on a 3rd gear pull

Another ACT PP and OEM disc and bearings user. I'm at a sc'd 500 whp and no slipping. It's daily friendly as well. My friends who drive it comment that it doesn't drive like a tuner car.

500whp sc and felt the clutch was just too light. As if I was always over working it.

Just put 350 miles on a custom fx400 segmented disk and act pp. it’s pretty grabby for daily but I think it will get better with time. You sacrifice some drivability but get the extra grab and confidence in the clutch.

Its a love/hate thing. Lil buzz between 2-3k, only on decel tho.

How much torque are you making with 600whp? Do you have the dyno chart?

I don't understand how you can be holding so much power on the ACT/OEM combo.

hes at 485whp, or 600hp. Everyone should speak whp figures.
btw, im at 367wtq on the act/oem seems to be holding fine so far. Had plenty of pulls, no hard launches.
question, for those of us already on act/oem, would swapping just the disk to a segmented or higher tq-rated disk hold more power?

I can't speak from personal experience, but I've had the ACT combo and am currently on a CM FX500. The CM pressure plate is lighter than the ACT. So it would stand to reason a CM FX400 or 500 friction disk paired with a ACT pressure plate would hold more than any single disk clutch setup available.
