Sorry, I mis read the info above. Ya wrote that johns car had the Ironman and it held up the longest and took a beating for almost a year, and when you said Agreed i thought that meant yours too. Sorry for the wrong assumption

 

oh no, I agreed that it takes a beating and a half.

 

HA, alright. Again sorry for the mis understanding

 

So if the ironman clutch is not as stronger/stiffer as ACT, does that mean that it will not have as much holding power? Specially for hi-horsepower applications?

 

it's got more than the ACT HDSS kit. I'd place a large sum of money on it. You don't need to take the shortcut method and just put on a heavier pressure plate to get the grip. You can change the composition of the discs instead.

 

 

You do realize that the 3rd quote you took out isn't a good thing right?

 

Yes...assuming what you and inline have stated is accurate.

I'm merely clarifying for readers that, contrary to what has been insinuated, the ACT PP has significantly more clamping force than OEM -- which is by design.

 

the clamping force is different from how well a clutch will grab or last. You want a pressure plate that will allow a soft pedal. the stiffer does not mean better.

the ironman clutch grabs hard and has barely ANY play in engagment, BUT the pedal is like stock.

 

I would agree to an extent. The clutch is still limited by the OEM disc on the abuse it can take and can't. It's a good clutch for the supercharged guys IMO because of how linear the superchargers are it's comparable to the competition clutch stage 3.

I've merely stated about slave cylinder failures that I have found (not solely due to dirty fluid).
